[Verse 1]
Dashboard lights on dim
Half a tank, you in my head again
Old dirt road in the rearview glass
Song we loved on a cheap broadcast
Boot print dust on the floorboard mat
Fast food bag and a ball cap
I talk tough but the truth don’t bite
I been lost since you left that night
[Chorus]
Under these dashboard lights
I confess to the dark where I lied
Every mile feels like your goodbye
But I still drive like you’re by my side
Under these dashboard lights
Heart on the wheel, knuckles white
If I make it home or I just get tired
It’s me and my ghosts and the dashboard lights
[Verse 2]
One hand ride, other scrolls your name
Dead blue screen, I’m the one to blame
Gravel hits like a slow drum roll
Every bump shakes up my soul
[low vocal register] Talk in my head like a late-night prayer
If you called right now, I’d turn right there
Spin this truck in a reddirt line
Burn my pride just to buy some time
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Yeah, I said I was fine, I was frontin’
Radio loud but it don’t change nothin’
Empty seat like it’s staring me down
I’m king of this five-mile town
[rap] Got a backroad crown, but it’s crooked though
Thought I had you locked, couldn’t let it go
Now I’m out here chasing every fencepost sign
Like it’s you, like it’s us, like it’s still that time
Got mud on my tires, got truth in my throat
Got a past I can’t pass, got a love I broke
If a prayer had wheels, it would sound like this
Every turn just a turn back to what I miss (yeah)
[Chorus]
