[Verse]
I’m rollin’ down this highway, chasing the skyline,
But Austin keeps on whispering, it’s still on my mind.
The neon lights of Dallas are callin’ me home,
But the ghosts of old honky-tonks won’t leave me alone.
[Chorus]
Trying to get to Dallas, but my heart’s stuck behind,
In the smoky bars of Austin, where love was unkind.
The road keeps on stretchin’, but it’s her face I find,
Trying to get to Dallas, but Austin’s still in my mind.
[Verse 2]
The Texas sun is sinking, painting skies of red,
I’m haunted by the last sweet words she ever said.
Her laughter lingers softly like a fiddle’s sweet tune,
And her memory rides shotgun beneath the Texas moon.
[Chorus]
Trying to get to Dallas, but my heart’s stuck behind,
In the smoky bars of Austin, where love was unkind.
The road keeps on stretchin’, but it’s her face I find,
Trying to get to Dallas, but Austin’s still in my mind.
[Bridge]
Every mile I travel feels like a step back in time,
To a place where her love was once wholly mine.
I hear her voice in the hum of my old truck’s tires,
It’s a melody of heartbreak and faded desires.
[Verse 3]
Now Dallas feels further with each mile I drive,
Though I left her in Austin, her memory’s alive.
The city lights ahead blur like tears in my eyes,
I’m caught between the past and those big Texas skies.
