Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Yeah… That old creek still sings your name Every night it sounds the same… [Verse 1] That old creek hummed like a backroad hymn, Barefoot nights, just you and me and them Crickets keeping time while the moon hung low, You’d laugh and say, “Don’t ever let this go.” Cold can in your hand, dust on my jeans, We were living out our young wild dreams, Every little moment felt carved in stone, Now I hear that song and I’m here alone. [Chorus] I’m missing you, and the little things you’d do, That reckless laugh like the sky was new, In the bed of my truck, counting shooting stars, Tracing your name in the rust on the bars, Every mile I drive just pulls me apart, You’re still riding shotgun in my heart, I’d give anything just to be where you are, Instead I’m chasing ghosts in the dark. [Verse 2] Fireflies flickered like a neon dream, Your silhouette dancing in a silver beam, Talking ‘bout forever on that gravel hill, Swore time would bend, but it never will, Your fingers wrote stories on my sleeve, Like you knew one day you’d have to leave, Now the wind rolls through where your voice once stayed, And every sunset feels a little more gray. [Chorus] I’m missing you, and the little things you’d do, That reckless laugh like the sky was new, In the bed of my truck, counting shooting stars, Tracing your name in the rust on the bars, Every mile I drive just pulls me apart, You’re still riding shotgun in my heart, I’d give anything just to be where you are, Instead I’m chasing ghosts in the dark. [Verse 3] Drove past your house, porch light burned low, Same old swing where we’d sit real slow, Screen door creaked like it knew my pain, Like it’s waiting on you to walk back in again, I still keep that picture in my dash, Sun-faded smile from a summer that passed, I talk to you when the night gets long, Like somehow you’re still hanging on. [Bridge] The stars don’t burn like they used to shine, They flicker and fade like you crossed that line, Every backroad turn’s got your memory tied, Like you never really said goodbye… [Final Chorus] I’m missing you, and the way you moved, Like every broken piece could still be used, In the bed of my truck, just me and the scars, Still counting wishes on falling stars, Every road I take just leads to your spark, You’re the fire that’s lighting up my dark, I’d give anything just to close that far… But I’m holding on to who we are. [Outro] Yeah… the creek still sings, but it ain’t the same, Every note just echoes your name, If there’s a heaven past these stars… I hope you’re waiting where you are.
