(Verse 1)
Headlights blur across the windowpane
Like a slow-motion run through the pouring rain
Another neon sign blinks a fiery red
Another night with your ghost sleeping in my bed
Got a half-empty glass and a full dose of doubt
Wonderin' if there's a different way out
(Chorus)
This old roadhouse, yeah, she remembers when
We swore we’d never have to pass this way again
The jukebox plays a tired and lonely sound
For all the lost souls in this one-horse town
Another slow dance in a haze of stale smoke
Just a quiet prayer that somebody else wrote
(Verse 2)
Saw a new kind of freedom in your smile
Said you were just passin' through for a little while
Every sunset seemed to hang a little low
Every promise was a seed we never watched grow
The clock on the wall’s been stuck at ten past four
Same time you walked out and closed the back door
(Chorus)
This old roadhouse, yeah, she remembers when
We swore we’d never have to pass this way again
The jukebox plays a tired and lonely sound
For all the lost souls in this one-horse town
Another slow dance in a haze of stale smoke
Just a quiet prayer that somebody else wrote
(Bridge)
The easy part was holding on. Letting go leaves someone wanting more.
Just another weary highway song
Singin' to myself that I didn't get it wrong
(Chorus)
This old roadhouse, yeah, she remembers when
We swore we’d never have to pass this way again
The jukebox plays a tired and lonely sound
For all the lost souls in this one-horse town
Another slow dance in a haze of stale smoke
Just a quiet prayer that somebody else wrote
(Outro)
Yeah, that roadhouse, she remembers...
Yeah, she remembers...
