Out here on a dirt road soul,
Where the willow trees sway and the river rolls,
With honky-tonk tears in the rearview mirror,
I chase the echoes of a love once dear.
Neon lights fade in the distance,
As I drive past that old farmhouse fence,
Where the summer nights held all our dreams,
Now they just dance in the moonlight beams.
Rodeo dust kicks up in the wind,
Every mile whispers tales of where we've been,
Those pickup lines that stole your heart,
Now feel like shadows tearing us apart.
A lonely star hangs low in the sky,
Reflects the tears of a heart that's shy,
Counting miles like memories, lost and found,
Searching for solace in this empty town.
But every country mile takes me back,
To laughter and love, now in the past,
So I’ll drive on with a heavy heart,
Right through the silence where it all fell apart.
The radio plays our favorite song,
And I close my eyes, just to sing along,
Wishing you were here to share the ride,
But I’ll carry your love like the evening tide.
As the sun dips down, the shadows grow long,
I realize this road's where I belong,
With whispers of hope that never fade,
I'll find my way, though the memories invade.
So I’ll keep moving, though the pain's still real,
With every turn and every wheel,
Tonight I’ll wander, yet I know I’ll heal,
'Cause love lingers on, it's a heart we feel.
