After that, they played at the Groezrock festival in Meerhout, Belgium in May 2008.
During 2009 Hot Water Music played a bunch of concerts in the U.S. plus a short German tour in November.
Since 2010, the band has continued to tour, write and record new music including 2012's album Exister and 2017's Light It Up.

Hot Water Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Hot Water Music's song "Freightliner" tell the story of a truck driver who has been on the road for a long time, driving all night to finally come back home. The singer is excited to see his friend back in town and proposes a plan to "raise some hell" together. They spend the night drinking and talking about their adventures, but the truck driver has to leave again soon to deliver his cargo to Washington state. Despite the transient nature of his job, the singer expresses a deep sense of loyalty and admiration for his friend's trade, and they break the takedown together, reaffirming their friendship and their love for the open road.

After a long journey, you have finally come back to us

I want to hear all about your adventures and travels
southbound gotta get back home
You have a strong desire to return to where you belong

You will only be with us for a short time

We should make the most of our time together and create unforgettable memories
arm and arm we'll break the take down
We will stand together and overcome any obstacles that come our way

Being surrounded by friends brings a sense of joy and fulfillment
cause these are our nights to run through this again
We should relive this experience together because it is unique to us
drinking all night and now it's time to wind down
After a long night of partying, it's time to relax and reflect
talk about what we found
We should share our thoughts and experiences with each other

You have a deadline to meet and must leave soon
tomorrow morning you'll but we'll be here and we'll be waiting
We will always be here for you, even if you have to leave temporarily
i can't wait but i'm still waiting for the next embrace just like the last one
I am excited for our next meeting, but also nostalgic for the past
walks and talks of friendship that's neverending
Our friendship will never fade, no matter the distance between us

You have many interesting tales to share about your occupation
arm and arm we'll break the takedown like we did in these days that keep us rolling
Together, we will face any challenges that come our way, just as we have in the past
he's never really leaving he's just rolling when we watch him drive away
Even when you physically leave, you will always be with us in spirit

Driving all night and
Now you're finally back again
Tell me where you've been
Southbound
Gotta get back home
You're in town a couple days
Let's get on our way
Gonna raise some hell
(Arm and arm) We'll break the takedown
We'll break the takedown
(Gonna fill myself) With all my friends
('Cause these are our nights) To run through this again
Drinking all night and
Now it's time to wind down
Talk about what we found
You only got until Friday
To make it to Washington state
Tomorrow morning you'll be gone
But we'll be here
We'll be waiting
I can't wait (I'll keep waiting)
For the next embrace (just like the last one)
Walks and talks of friendship (that's neverending)
And stories of his trade
Arm and arm we'll break (we'll break the takedown)
Like we did in those days (that keep us rolling)
He's never really leaving (he's just rolling)
When we watch him drive away
Go!
(And if you gotta, just) Go!
(And anytime, you) Go!
(We watch him rolling) Go!

Always was one of my favorite songs from the Tony Hawk games. I'm 32 now and hearing this song definitely takes me back. Nothing will ever be like those games and their music. The guitar riff that starts at 0:13 is what really made me fall in love with this tune. The vocals are great. And the drums are on another level as well.
@Bjollydbrown
