[Verse 1]
I still take the backroads just to clear my mind
But every turn reminds me of another goodbye
Your name’s still echoing through this old truck cab
Funny how forever turned into what we never had
[Pre-Chorus]
The radio keeps playing songs we used to know
But you’re long gone and I’m still driving slow
[Chorus]
These empty roads keep leading me to you
No matter how far I go, I can’t outrun the truth
Every mile’s another memory I can’t let go
I’m lost between your goodbye and these empty roads
[Verse 2]
That old gas station still remembers our names
But nothing around here feels the same
Everybody says I’ll find somebody new
They don’t know every sunset still looks like you
[Chorus]
These empty roads keep leading me to you
No matter how far I go, I can’t outrun the truth
Every mile’s another memory I can’t let go
I’m lost between your goodbye and these empty roads
[Bridge]
If I could turn this truck around time
I’d stop your leaving before you crossed that line
But some hearts break and never quite let go
So I keep chasing ghosts down empty roads
[Chorus]
These empty roads keep leading me to you
No matter how far I go, I can’t outrun the truth
Every mile’s another memory I can’t let go
I’m lost between your goodbye and these empty roads
[Outro]
One day these tires might carry me home
Tonight they’re just rolling through the unknown
[End]
