(Verse 1)
I was sittin’ by the river with the tailgate down,
Old Chevy’s engine hummin’ but it can’t drown
The sound of your goodbye still echoin’ loud,
In this lonely heart, just me and this crowd.
The stars in the sky, they ain’t burnin’ bright,
Like the fire we had when you held me tight.
Now I’m drivin’ these backroads, fightin’ the tears,
With a beer in my hand and a heart full of fears.
(Chorus)
It’s just broken hearts and pickup trucks,
Dusty roads, whiskey bottles and bad luck.
I’m lost in the rearview, but I can’t escape,
The love we had, it’s just too late.
So I’ll keep drivin’, but the pain won’t go,
In this truck of memories, I’m movin’ slow.
Yeah, broken hearts and pickup trucks,
That’s all I got, girl, and it’s never enough.
(Verse 2)
I still see you in the corner of my mind,
When that engine roars, you’re still on my mind.
But the miles keep rollin’, and the nights get cold,
Every mile I’m gettin’ older, but this pain won’t fold.
I reach for your hand, but it’s not there,
Just this old wheel, and a prayer.
Maybe someday I’ll leave it all behind,
But tonight, this truck’s the only thing I find.
(Chorus)
It’s just broken hearts and pickup trucks,
Dusty roads, whiskey bottles and bad luck.
I’m lost in the rearview, but I can’t escape,
The love we had, it’s just too late.
So I’ll keep drivin’, but the pain won’t go,
In this truck of memories, I’m movin’ slow.
Yeah, broken hearts and pickup trucks,
That’s all I got, girl, and it’s never enough.
(Outro)
Yeah, it’s just broken hearts and pickup trucks,
With you gone, this old truck’s all I trust.
