I pulled off that two-lane blacktop, dust still settlin’ high
Radio playin’ our old song, damn near made me cry
Your lipstick on the coffee cup, your boots still on the floor
This truck’s got more memories than this bar’s got room for
I told myself I’d let you go, but the heart don’t read the signs
Every mile I drive just winds up runnin’ back through time
So I’m sippin’ whiskey on the dashboard, stars come out tonight
Tryin’ to drown out all the what-ifs burnin’ in my headlights
You’re somewhere in the city lights, probably doin’ fine
But I’m still out here on these backroads, losin’ my damn mind
Yeah, the bottle’s almost empty, but the hurt ain’t even close
I raise it up to the rearview, here’s to the one I miss the most
We had Friday night football lights, tailgates and bonfires
Now you’re chasin’ big dreams, baby, and I’m stuck with these tires
I still smell your perfume when the wind blows through the cab
Funny how the things you love the most are the ones that break you bad
I swore I’d never be that guy, parked under these neon signs
But here I am again, payin’ for those goodbye times
So I’m sippin’ whiskey on the dashboard, stars come out tonight
Tryin’ to drown out all the what-ifs burnin’ in my headlights
You’re somewhere in the city lights, probably doin’ fine
But I’m still out here on these backroads, losin’ my damn mind
Yeah, the bottle’s almost empty, but the hurt ain’t even close
I raise it up to the rearview, here’s to the one I miss the most
Maybe one day I’ll turn this rig around, find a different song
But right now this whiskey’s the only thing that’s been here all along
Yeah, I’m sippin’ whiskey on the dashboard, stars come out tonight
Screamin’ your name into the silence, under these pale moonlight
You’re out there livin’ easy, I hope you’re doin’ fine
But I’ll be out here on these backroads ‘til I get you off my mind
The bottle’s finally empty… but this heart’s still overflowin’
Here’s to the one that got away… and the man still goin’
Whiskey on the dashboard… fade into the night…
