Verse 1
She’s driving south, tail-lights thinning out
Motor hum like a memory fading loud
My mouth still tastes like where she’d been
Heat on my hands, trouble on my skin
Blue lights flicker in my bloodstream
Promises they never keep
I knew every bend, every sign
Every place she’d lose her mind
Pre-Chorus
These roads were ours—no names, no lines
Just instinct, sweat, and borrowed time
Chorus
Now someone else is driving
The lanes that used to know my name
He’s got his hands where mine lived
Learning curves I used to claim
I’m pulled over on the shoulder
Watching headlights disappear
Someone else is driving
What was once mine—clear and near
Verse 2
I tuned her in like a late-night song
Static screaming till the walls shook wrong
Every exit burned into my hands
Every milepost part of the plan
But I stalled out chasing the rush
Too much noise, too much dust
She slid away, engine clean
Left me shaking in between
Pre-Chorus
I pressed the gas on borrowed fire
Found out speed don’t cure the quiet
Chorus
Now someone else is driving
The lanes I thought were private ground
He’s hearing sounds I memorized
In places I mapped out
I’m pulled over on the shoulder
With regret still in my ear
Someone else is driving
What I loved—and held—right here
Bridge
She used to be my southern state
Warm nights, no need to navigate
Now she’s a route I run in dreams
Green signs cutting straight through me
I know every turn too well
Still can’t follow where she fell
Final Chorus
Yeah, someone else is driving
Foot down where I used to roam
He’s crossing lines I painted white
Calling someone else his home
I’m pulled over on the shoulder
Letting blue lights fade to black
Someone else is driving
Every road I can’t take back
Outro
She’s driving south…
And I’m just watching
The lanes go dark.
Goz
