[Verse 1]
I saw the silver line of the Greyhound cutting through the dawn
I reached for your hand in the backseat, but you were already gone
You said the desert was too quiet, and the stars were much too cold
And you couldn’t trade your mother\u2019s house for a story never told
I watched you climb those narrow steps, a ticket in your fist
And the girl I loved a thousand miles ago\u2026 dissolved into the mist.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the engine\u2019s humming a different tune, a hollow, bitter sound
And the dust you left behind is the only thing that\u2019s still around
But I can\u2019t turn the wheel, babe, I can\u2019t face the city lights
I\u2019d rather die in the shadows than live in those neon nights!
[Chorus]
So let the highway be my witness, and the gravel be my bed!
I\u2019m driving through the wreckage of the things we never said!
You\u2019re heading for the valley, I\u2019m heading for the peak
Searching for a language that the lonely only speak!
It\u2019s a solo flight to nowhere, on a wing and a prayer
But I\u2019m breathing in the freedom in the cold, thin air!
Yes, I\u2019m lonely, and I\u2019m bleeding, and I\u2019m howling at the moon
But I\u2019m never gonna whistle that “going home” tune!
[Bridge – Music drops to near silence, only a faint wind]
(Spoken Word)
“Go on back, honey. Go back to the white picket fences and the Sunday afternoon rain. I hope the silence doesn’t scream your name too loud. Me? I\u2019m built for the storm. I\u2019m the king of the empty miles now.”
[Outro – High Energy Finale]
