Ghost of You

Lyrics

Verse 1**
*Midnight asphalt, a rig full of scars,*
*The CB’s silent, but I still hear your voice in the dark.*
*Diesel burns like the ache in my veins,*
*Your perfume’s in the vents, but the passenger seat’s stained.*
*I downshift through memories—your laugh in my ear,*
*A flicker of headlights, and suddenly you’re here.*
*You’re humming that song we slow-danced to in June,*
*Now the highway’s a sermon, and I’m preachin’ to your ghost in this tomb.*

**Chorus**
*The ghost of you rides shotgun tonight,*
*Haunts every mile, every wrong, every right.*
*I’d crash through the guardrails of heaven and hell,*
*Just to feel you alive in this hollowed-out shell.*
*Your shadow’s my cargo, your name’s my tattoo,*
*This rig’s full of echoes, but I’m starved for the truth.*
*The ghost of you’s all that I’ve got left to lose—*
*A love rigged with rust… and these bolts I can’t undo.*

**Verse 2**
*I swore I saw you in a rest-stop diner,*
*Smile like sunrise, but the coffee’s gone colder.*
*They say grief’s a black ice you don’t see till it’s too late,*
*Now I’m jackknifed in a dream where you’re yellin’ “*Wait!*”*
*I’ve run every red light, ignored every sign,*
*But your ghost’s in the mirror, and it’s breakin’ the lines.*
*You’re everywhere, baby—the fog, the frost,*
*The last voice I hear when the guardrails are lost.*

**Chorus**
*The ghost of you rides shotgun tonight,*
*Haunts every mile, every wrong, every right.*
*I’d crash through the guardrails of heaven and hell,*
*Just to feel you alive in this hollowed-out shell.*
*Your shadow’s my cargo, your name’s my tattoo,*
*This rig’s full of echoes, but I’m starved for the truth.*
*The ghost of you’s all that I’ve got left to lose—*
*A love rigged with rust… and these bolts I can’t undo.*

**Bridge**
*The docs called it “sudden,” I called it a lie,*
*Now I’m talkin’ to pylons, askin’ God why*
*He’d let me roll on with this hole in my chest,*
*While your ghost fills the void with the lies I’ve confessed.*
*I’d trade every highway, every load, every cent,*
*To rewrite the night that the universe bent.*
*But the diesel won’t stop, and the ghost won’t forgive—*
*I’m a dead man drivin’…*
*…with nowhere left to live.*


**Final Chorus**
*The ghost of you rides shotgun tonight,*
*Haunts every mile, every wrong, every right.*
*I’d crash through the guardrails of heaven and hell,*
*Just to feel you alive in this hollowed-out shell.*
*Your shadow’s my cargo, your name’s my tattoo,*
*This rig’s full of echoes, but I’m starved for the truth.*
*The ghost of you’s all that I’ve got left to lose—*
*A love rigged with rust… and these bolts I can’t undo.*

**Outro**
*So I’ll haul this grief like a cross-country curse,*
*Your ghost in the cab, my soul in reverse.*
*The road never ends, and the tr
