[Verse 1]
Got the keys in my hand, engine running loud
Dust kicks up behind me, leaving this town
Remember when you'd laugh with the windows down?
Now I'm driving alone through the amber glow
[Chorus]
Chasing ghosts in the sunset, chasing what we were
Four-wheel-drive can't outrun the things that hurt
You're gone but I'm still reaching for your hand
Sunset's all I got left, and a burning piece of land
[Verse 2]
Radio's playing that song from way back then
You wore that sundress, held me close again
We promised forever under desert skies
Now forever's just a fading light
[Chorus]
Chasing ghosts in the sunset, chasing what we were
Four-wheel-drive can't outrun the things that hurt
You're gone but I'm still reaching for your hand
Sunset's all I got left, and a burning piece of land
[Bridge]
The horizon keeps moving but I'm standing still
Love's a mirage out here, and it always will
Be just out of reach on this empty road
[Final Chorus]
I'm chasing ghosts in the sunset, chasing what we were
But the dust will settle, and the pain will blur
You're gone and I'm still reaching for your ghost
Sunset's all I got now, it's all I know
