Lonely Highways

[Verse] Underneath the hazy moonlight, I drive down this lonesome road, Thoughts of you are sinking deep, in the empty seat where you once rode. The radio plays our old favorite, but my heart's broken beat can't keep time, Dusty fields and broken dreams, they're the echoes of a past prime. [Verse 2] Morning light creeps through the curtains, another night sleeping alone, In this haunted little farmhouse, that's been stripped right to the bone. Photos hiding in the attic, where your laughter used to ring, Now it's just the sound of silence, and a rusted wedding ring. [Chorus] Lonely highways stretch for miles, No more laughter, no more smiles, A heart that's heavy, torn apart, Ghosts of us dance in the dark. [Verse 3] Barn's been empty for a while now, no more horses in the stall, Even the dog feels your absence, as she lies next to the hall. Leaves are falling in the front yard, time is slipping like a stream, Every corner holds a memory, of a shared and shattered dream. [Bridge] Sometimes I think I'll head out west, to where the mountains kiss the sky, But every mile I travel down, feels like another long goodbye. Whiskey drowns the echoing aches, but it can't wash away the pain, Country roads and tear-streaked nights, where the thunder mourns like rain. [Chorus] Lonely highways stretch for miles, No more laughter, no more smiles, A heart that's heavy, torn apart, Ghosts of us dance in the dark.
