Dust On The Road

Verse 1
There’s a diner light still glowing
On a highway going nowhere slow
Coffee cold, but I keep going
Chasing dreams I used to know

Your name’s carved in the dashboard
Like a song I can’t outrun
Every mile feels a little longer
Since you became someone I lost

Pre-Chorus
Radio plays our favorite line
And suddenly you’re back in time

Chorus
There’s dust on the road behind me
And your shadow in my rearview sky
I keep driving through the silence
Where our goodbye still survives
If love’s a place I can’t return to
Why does every road feel like you?
I’m miles away but still alone
With dust on the road back home

Verse 2
Old boots by the front door waiting
Like they know I’ll come around
Small town nights keep repeating
Every whisper, every sound

Pre-Chorus
I swore I’d learn to let you go
But hearts don’t listen to the road

Chorus
There’s dust on the road behind me
And your shadow in my rearview sky
I keep driving through the silence
Where our goodbye still survives
If love’s a place I can’t return to
Why does every road feel like you?
I’m miles away but still alone
With dust on the road back home

Bridge
Maybe someday the wind will change
Carry my heart somewhere new
But tonight this endless highway
Still leads me back to you

Final Chorus
There’s dust on the road behind me
But your memory rides shotgun still
And every star above reminds me
Some loves never really heal
If moving on was meant to save me
Why does missing you feel true?
I keep driving through the night
Trying to outrun loving you
