Verse 1
Left at dawn when the frost was biting
Rust on the hinges of that old Holden gate
Four tires spinning
Forty miles of red dirt before the sunrise
A few drongos sitting on the wire fence
Pre-Chorus
No map on the seat
Just the heat
Watching the birds fly south
Chorus
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
I'm gone
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
Down to the coast where the air tastes like silver
Away from the city
Away from the noise
Just me and the machine
Just me and the machine
Verse 2
Stopped by a creek for a minute
Chrome reflecting the iron clouds above
Nothing moves here
Silent trees watching the gully wash away
Pre-Chorus
Iron bark and stone
All alone
Hearing the engine tick down
Chorus
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
I'm gone
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
Down to the coast where the air tastes like silver
Away from the city
Away from the noise
Just me and the machine
Just me and the machine
Bridge
Run from the paddock
Run from the rain
Run till the pavement turns into foam
My heart is a heavy wrench
Turning against the grain
Chorus
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
I'm gone
Salt in the wind and steel on the floor
Down to the coast where the air tastes like silver
Away from the city
Away from the noise
Just me and the machine
Just me and the machine
