Whiskey‑Dust Highway

Sanoitukset

(Verse 1) The gravel road’s still callin’, like it did when we were young, We’d drive these hills til' midnight, singin’ songs yet to be sung. Your smile lit up the dashboard, your hand was locked in mine, Now I’m drivin’ through the darkness, with a heart that’s lost it's shine. (Chorus) I’m fadin’ in the rearview, just a ghost of who I was, Clingin’ to the memories of a love that turned to dust. I’d give MY SOUL to turn back time, to HOLD you one more night, But the bottle’s my companion now, since you left me behind. (Verse 2) The old oak by the river, where we carved our names in June, Stands weathered and forgotten, like a heart that’s out of tune. I pass it every evening, with a tear I can’t disguise, Searchin’ for the piece of me that died in your goodbye. (Chorus) I’m fadin’ in the rearview, just a ghost of who I was, Clingin’ to the memories of a love that turned to dust. I’d give MY SOUL to turn back time, to HOLD you one more night, But the bottle’s my companion now, since you left me behind. (Bridge) The radio plays static, but I hear your favorite song, It cuts me like a razor, knowin’ you’re forever gone. I pray you’re dancin’ somewhere, with a heart that’s light and free, While I’m drownin’ in this whiskey, wishin’ you still needed me. (Chorus) I’m fadin’ in the rearview, just a ghost of who I was, Clingin’ to the memories of a love that turned to dust. I’d give MY SOUL to turn back time, to HOLD you one more night, But the bottle’s my companion now, since you left me behind. (Outro) So I’ll raise this glass to nowhere, as the stars fade one by one, Haunted by the life we planned, and the dreams that came undone. With the bottle’s cold embrace, I’ll stumble through the night, ‘Cause the bottle’s my companion now, since you left me behind.
