Verse 1]
She’d leave Halisco behind if he’d ask her to
She’d fold up her dreams like a love letter she once knew
And she wonders if their love is strong enough to survive the divide
Her answers were found in the voice on the other line
[Chorus]
Your name rides with me on the passenger side
Tell me, my sweet Maria — is your heart still mine?
She said, “You’re my original flame, too bright to consume
But gone like the echo after a rainy morning’s gloom
You burn too wild, like a fire I can’t control
But somehow, my love, I will never let you go”
At a roadside bar just outside the town of Toledo
Rain hits the glass like a midnight shadow
He stares through the smoky neon, lost in the glow
Just drowning in thoughts that only he would know
As the band starts to play, slow and strong
In the singer’s voice, he hears that sad old song
It takes him right back to her — it’s been so long
To the only place his heart has ever felt like it belonged
[Bridge]
Yeah, the road rolls on like a prayer half-said
I’m the rush, you’re the water running through the riverbed
I need you, but then I leave you
I dream of you, but then I grieve you
You’re the voice that pulls me home, but I can never stay
[Final Chorus]
Your name rides with me on the passenger side
Tell me, my sweet Maria — is your heart still mine?
She said, “You’re my original flame, too bright to consume
But gone like the echo after a rainy morning’s gloom
You burn too wild, like a fire I can’t control
But somehow, my love, I will never let you go”
[Outro]
When I close my eyes, I see you, no matter how far I roam
I can smell your sweet perfume — and it’s calling me home
I can hear your laughter in the wind that blows alone
You’re the only place this restless heart has ever known
