Lyrics
Verse 1
He drove two hours down the road, from Austin to San Antone,
To see the girl he met online, she made him feel at home.
They laughed and talked, they shared their dreams, under the Texas sky,
But life had plans, it seems, and soon they had to say goodbye.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, they had their rough patches, but love was in their eyes,
He thought they'd make it through, despite the miles and the cries.
Chorus
But she had to move away, to Michigan so far,
He drove to see her one last time, beneath the northern star.
Oh, he loved her so, but it couldn't work out,
Now he's singing this sad song, with a heart full of doubt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he loved her so,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but she had to go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now he's all alone,
Driving back to Austin, with a heart of stone.
Verse 2
They walked along the river's edge, in San Antonio's light,
He held her close, he kissed her lips, they danced into the night.
But distance grew, and time was cruel, their love began to fade,
He wished upon a shooting star, but wishes never stayed.
Pre-Chorus
Oh, they had their rough patches, but love was in their eyes,
He thought they'd make it through, despite the miles and the cries.
He remembers all the moments, the laughter and the tears,
The promises they made, to last throughout the years.
But now he's on the highway, the memories in his mind,
He knows that love is fleeting, and sometimes love is blind.
Chorus
But she had to move away, to Michigan so far,
He drove to see her one last time, beneath the northern star.
Oh, he loved her so, but it couldn't work out,
Now he's singing this sad song, with a heart full of doubt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he loved her so,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but she had to go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now he's all alone,
Driving back to Austin, with a heart of stone.
Outro
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he loved her so,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but she had to go,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now he's all alone,
Driving back to Austin, with a heart of stone.
