[Verse]
The sun dips low, paints the fields with fire,
Gravel snaps beneath the worn-out tires.
A lonely tune hums through the prairie's haze,
Ghosts of love lost in the amber blaze.
[Verse 2]
The porch light flickers on a house near gone,
Rusty mailbox barely hangs on.
Memories seep through the cedar and pine,
A snapshot held in the branches of time.
[Chorus]
Heartstrings and highways, pulling me apart,
Each mile deeper, farther from your heart.
The soul of this country runs through my veins,
But there's no road home from love's remains.
[Verse 3]
Saw your shadow in the churchyard dim,
Thought I heard a whisper lost in the hymn.
Midnight drank the color from my dreams,
Left me chasing echoes down these streams.
[Bridge]
The world's still turning, but the rhythm’s slow,
A cadence weighted with what I can't let go.
The Texas wind carries secrets untold,
Whispers of the love I couldn't hold.
[Chorus]
Heartstrings and highways, pulling me apart,
Each mile deeper, farther from your heart.
The soul of this country runs through my veins,
But there's no road home from love's remains.
