[Verse 1] Tail lights fading in the rearview glass, I’m chasing down the lines of a love that passed. Every mile marker cuts like a blade, And every song on the radio knows her name. [Pre-Chorus] I drive faster, but I can’t escape, These wheels just spin on heartache. [Chorus] It’s a highway heartache, runnin’ through my veins, Thunder on the blacktop, rollin’ in the rain. The further I go, the closer it stays, Highway heartache, chasin’ me every day. [Verse 2] Gas station coffee, motel sheets, Tryin’ to hide the hurt that I can’t beat. Her ghost rides shotgun wherever I roam, The road just reminds me I’m far from home. [Pre-Chorus] I drive faster, but I can’t escape, These wheels just spin on heartache. [Chorus] It’s a highway heartache, runnin’ through my veins, Thunder on the blacktop, rollin’ in the rain. The further I go, the closer it stays, Highway heartache, chasin’ me every day. [Bridge] Every town’s a stop sign, every bar’s a chance, But the pain keeps playin’ the same slow dance. [Chorus – Double] It’s a highway heartache, runnin’ through my veins, Thunder on the blacktop, rollin’ in the rain. The further I go, the closer it stays, Highway heartache, chasin’ me every day. [Outro] Yeah, this highway heartache won’t let me be.
