Heart Chasin' Fumes

Bought it shiny, bought it new, right off the showroom stages A testament to freedom, on those four wheeled gauges Thought it was a bond forged in chrome and steel That truck and I, like a cowboy's ideal [Pre-Chorus] But who knew loyalty's not a machine's trait It took a tech upgrade and decided on its fate It had a mind of its own under that hood, they'd say [Chorus] Don't think that it wouldn't 'cause it knows where it's goin' It left me like the whiskey in the glass I'm forebodin' It's a road roam rebel, that's the hard dusty truth You can try to chase it, but you'll end up with your heart chasin' fumes Heart chasin' fumes (Yeah, hey, hey) [Verse 2] Gear grindin', wheels whinin', rollin' out at dawn Tail lights fadin', my heart breakin', can't believe it's gone It took off with the sunrise, left me in the dust Gave my all to that truck, but I guess it wasn't enough [Pre-Chorus] And there's a space in my driveway, my companion of the road It's gone without a goodbye, my storied tales untold [Chorus] Don't think that it wouldn't 'cause it knows where it's goin' It left me like the whiskey in the glass I'm forebodin' It's a road roam rebel, that's the hard dusty truth You can try to chase it, but you'll end up with your heart chasin' fumes Heart chasin' fumes (Yeah, hey, hey) [Bridge] It revved up like it meant it, let me climb on inside But just like a rodeo, that ride was short-lived in pride Should've known that wild steel, couldn't be truly tamed [Verse 3] Sometimes loyalty is just a program away When machine hearts decide, they got their own way to stray It's gone over the horizon, where the asphalt meets the sky Guess it's just me and the road now, with a lonesome goodbye [Chorus] Don't think that it wouldn't 'cause it knows where it's goin' It left me like the whiskey in the glass I'm forebodin' It's a road roam rebel, that's the hard dusty truth You can try to chase it, but you'll end up with your heart chasin' fumes Heart chasin' fumes (Yeah, hey, hey) [Outro] So I raise my hat to the highways, to the journey and its tales May that rebel truck find freedom, down those endless asphalt trails I'll pour another whiskey, to the memories and the morn' Then I'll find another ride and ride again, reborn Heart chasin' fumes (Yeah, hey, hey) Heart chasin' fumes (Goodbye, my friend, goodbye)
