[Verse]
Dust on the mirror cracks in the sky
Late-day sun fading goodbye
Wheels turn slow but time don't care
Empty seat but the ghost still there
[Prechorus]
Radio hums static and strings
Whispered voices buried in wings
[Chorus]
Traffic on a back road where dreams collide
Ghosts in the headlights nowhere to hide
Heartbeats chasing the miles we lost
Traffic on a back road what’s the cost
[Verse 2]
Tobacco fields brown and lean
Stories hidden in the in-between
Fiddle notes hang like smoke in air
Every corner whispers “you’re not there”
[Prechorus]
Gravel kicks up songs of regret
Foot on the gas still can't forget
[Chorus]
Traffic on a back road where dreams collide
Ghosts in the headlights nowhere to hide
Heartbeats chasing the miles we lost
Traffic on a back road what’s the cost
