Lou's Forgotten Highways

Lyrics

[INTRO] Oh Lou, where’d you go? Once you were the one, now nobody knows. Lost in your thoughts, drifting so far, Chasing Chevelles like a fading star. [VERSE 1] Louis, the legend, a scumbag in stride, Cruising through life, take ‘em for a ride. But then came the wrecks, oh, the damage it stole, Now he wanders the lots, searching for his soul. My dad gave him chance after chance like a prayer, But Lou’s mind is fading, seemed like he didn’t care. [CHORUS] Lou has lost his marbles, spinning in his head, Dementia’s got a hold, making dreams feel dead. Once a king of the road, now just old memories, Chasing down the headlights of forgotten histories. [VERSE 2] He drove from the auction, vanished for a while, Left a trail of confusion, and a worn-out smile. The cars we once cherished now rust in despair, For Lou’s got a mind where nobody’s there. “Take it easy, Lou,” my dad said with a frown, But he wrecked all the hopes, shattered them down. [CHORUS] Lou has lost his marbles, spinning in his head, Dementia’s got a hold, making dreams feel dead. Once a king of the road, now just old memories, Chasing down the headlights of forgotten histories. [BRIDGE] Oh Lou, can you hear me? In the silence, there’s a plea. Catch a glimpse of what’s left, Remember the love you’ve kept. [VERSE 3] Now Lou sits alone, in the corner of his mind, Talks of Chevelles, recalls a life unkind. Once a scumbag legend, now a tale of woe, They say time heals all, but that’s not what we know. The parking lot echoes with sighs of the past, Fading like memories, too fragile to last. [CHORUS] Lou has lost his marbles, spinning in his head, Dementia’s got a hold, making dreams feel dead. Once a king of the road, now just old memories, Chasing down the headlights of forgotten histories. [OUT]
