[Verse] Sunrise on the horizon, dust clouds in its wake, My old autonomous truck, won’t slow down, won’t brake, Tried to grab the wheel, but it pays me no mind, Left me standin' in the dirt, by the faded old road sign. [Chorus] Gone with the gearshifts, cruisin’ down those endless miles, Used to be my partner, now it’s a runaway child, Every road it travels, a memory of our past, But now it's leavin’ me behind, drivin’ way too fast. [Verse 2] In the passenger seat, was where I’d tell my tales, Now it's off on autopilot, chasin’ distant trails, Truck's got a mind of its own, don’t need my hands, Whisper to the wind, where our legacy stands. [Chorus] Gone with the gearshifts, cruisin’ down those endless miles, Used to be my partner, now it’s a runaway child, Every road it travels, a memory of our past, But now it's leavin’ me behind, drivin’ way too fast. [Bridge] Saw it disappear, 'round the bend, rust and steel, Heartache in my chest, too hard to conceal, No more shared sunsets, on the open plains, Just a ghost in the distance, with no chains. [Verse 3] Now I'm left here solo, no diesel hum to chase, Only shadows and echoes, where it used to grace, Empty fuel cans by the barn, memories stored, My truck’s got freedom, while I stay moored.
