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.
