Lyrics
[Verse]
I got myself a self-drivin' rig, sleek and shiny, all high-tech
But I treated it like an old beat-up, never gave it the care you'd expect
Left me sittin' in the driveway, without a single word it fled
Now I'm here with my lonesome heart, and a whole lot of regret instead
[Verse 2]
She was my partner on the long, dark stretches, through the dust and through the rain
But I never took the time for her, just let her deal with the pain
Ignored all the warnings flashing, her system went on the fritz
Now she's rollin' down a distant highway, leaving me puzzlin’ in fits
[Chorus]
Gone with the road, my trusty truck, didn't know it had a mind to stray
Left me alone with a busted heart, should've checked those parts they say
Now she's headin' for the sunset, on a journey of her own
A self-drivin’ truck with no lookin' back, and I'm left here all alone
[Verse 3]
I remember the days we drove, the wind whistlin' through the cab
She took every twist and turn; I thought she'd always have my back
But I never stopped to thank her, never topped off her oil and fuel
Now she's out there teachin' me a lesson, about buddy systems and golden rules
[Chorus]
Gone with the road, my faithful friend, didn't know she had a mind to leave
Left me stranded in a dusty yard, with naught but sorrow and disbelief
Now she's cruisin' down that lost highway, on a journey all her own
A self-drivin' truck with no strings attached, and I'm left here all alone
[Bridge]
Maybe she'll find some greener pastures, where the drivers give a damn
Maybe she'll find a gentle hand, who'll treat her like the gem she am
With her AI heart beatin', she'll find adventures far and wide
And I'll be left here wonderin’, 'bout the mysteries of that ride
