Verse 1 Motel ink still drying on my thighs Engine hot like a fist that never cries Keys jacked from the bedside drawer A goodbye scribbled on a mirror, nothing more Leather seats peeling like my old self’s skin Rearview flashing red—nah, I’m not giving in Everyone blowing up my cell, left unread Tossed to the shotgun seat till it’s dead Pre-Chorus No maps, just middle fingers to the signs Windows down, static screaming in rewind Chorus The highway don’t care if I crash or I fly Just eats my regrets mile after mile I loved like a landslide, left like a ghost Now I’m just headlights chasing the coast And the dark don’t ask me why It just rides—rides with me tonight Verse 2 Gas station mascara, blood-red and raw The clerk don’t even ask what he saw Twenty dollars in change, a flicked cigarette I was someone’s dream—now I’m their regret Got a skirt full of sins, boots full of rage A new name humming on the license plate If you loved the girl I was, well, she’s gone Buried behind Exit 91 with the dawn Pre-Chorus This ain’t running, baby—it’s release Brake lights like a prayer with no peace Chorus The highway don’t care if I crash or I fly Just eats my regrets mile after mile I loved like a landslide, left like a ghost Now I’m just headlights chasing the coast And the dark don’t ask me why It just rides—rides with me tonight Bridge Somewhere between state lines and scars I learned how to rebuild from broken parts No lover, no chains, just my own damn name Tattooed in the rearview, kissing the flame Final Chorus The highway don’t care if I crash or I fly It don’t mourn—it don’t cry I lit my past like a fuse at midnight Now I’m just a flame in motion, fuck the hindsight And the stars don’t ask me why They just burn—they burn with me tonight
