The stories behind Vital Signs on the Road

• Vital Signs on the Road Follows One Coastal Service Route — This pop-rock anthem turns a highway hugging the coastline into the setting for a single technician's clinic-trailer repair.

Lyrics

Fixers Rome.

Breaks and monitors, pumps and lights.

Keeping the

We bring the gear back online, we see the clinic through, oh

Ocean road is calling, sunrise on the glass

Making sure the vital signs are built to last

Built to last

Parked outside the trailer where the clinic serves the coast

Holding fusion pump is failing right when needed most

Screwdriver and me to steady hands and care

Breathing second wind into the metal there

Nurse smiles at the reading

Green light starts to glow

That's a silent victory on the road below

Every circuit board, a lifeline, every wrench of prayer

Fixing what is broken so the healing's always there

Out here on the edge of land where ocean meets the sky

We keep the monitors humming as the ghosts fly by

Brakes and monitors, pumps and lights

Keeping the heartbeat steady through the coastal nights

From the Salinas Valley to the

Big Bay View We bring the gear back online, we see the clinic through

Ocean Road is calling sunrise on the glass

Making sure the vital signs are built to last

Case packed up, engine turning

Pacific wind, headlights burning

Back to service, safe and sound

Rolling down the open ground

Oh, oh,

Filled to last

Oh, oh, oh, oh
