[Verse 1]
I drive this lonesome highway, under a pale moonlight,
The rear view's filled with memories of nights that felt so right,
Your love was like a soft breeze, drifting through my hair,
But now it’s gone, like old Rex, who used to sleep right there.
[Verse 2]
We used to chase the stars, you, me, and our dog,
Through fields of golden sunshine, past the misty morning fog,
But now the air's much colder, and your laughter’s just a ghost,
And the echo of your voice is what I miss the most.
[Chorus]
Crying on the open road, love lost along the way,
The happiness we once knew, feels a million miles away,
I miss you and old Rex too, the joy we knew back then,
I’d give the world to feel your touch, and hear his bark again.
[Verse 3]
The radio’s just static, as I pass another town,
Trying to outdrive my heartache, but it keeps on burning down,
Each mile a tear that's falling, each turn a distant dream,
You're in every shadow, and every flowing stream.
[Bridge]
But the wheel keeps turning, along this road of pain,
I chase the fading sunset, through the pouring rain,
Somewhere beyond tomorrow, we'll find our way back home,
Or maybe in the stars above, where Rex still freely roams.
[Verse 4]
The dawn is slowly breaking, morning light pours in,
I'll carry you in spirit, 'til we meet again,
Though the journey's heavy, and the nights are long,
The road will always lead us, back to where we belong.
