Beat-up truck kicks up dust on this deserted road
Radio screams a love song a melody that explodes
In the hollowness of my heart a painful echo
Empty miles stretch before me a burden my shoulders unload
Every morning I wake up to an empty bed
Sheets tangled with memories words unspoken and left unsaid
Your laughter lingers like a ghost a teardrop freely shed
This highway ain't takin' me anywhere just deeper into the red
Denim jacket hangs heavy the scent of your perfume clings
A cruel reminder of what I've lost shattered dreams with broken wings
These hands that used to hold yours just hold my wedding ring
Aching for your touch the solace that your presence brings
Every morning I wake up to an empty bed
Sheets tangled with memories words unspoken and left unsaid
Your laughter lingers like a ghost a teardrop freely shed
This highway ain't takin' me anywhere just deeper into the red
Maybe this town wasn't big enough to hold your dreams
But leaving me behind baby wasn't what it seems
Tick by a raging unstable stream
But your absence is a storm that forever screams
Every morning I wake up to an empty bed
Sheets tangled with memories words unspoken and left unsaid
Your laughter lingers like a ghost a teardrop freely shed
This highway ain't takin' me anywhere just deeper into the red
Deeper into the red this anger this regret
But maybe somewhere down this road our paths will finally meet again
