[Verse 1] Neon hummin’ in a diner’s glow, coffee cold, but I got nowhere to go. She said she’d wait, but that was two towns back, I still see her shadow ridin’ shotgun black. [Chorus] Nobody knows where the heartache goes, down those lines where the highway froze. Left my name on a room key chain, a ghost in the mirror whisperin’ my name. [Verse 2] Barstool prophets and desert rain, every mile marker spellin’ her name. I keep on drivin’ just to feel the ache, ‘cause peace is somethin’ I can’t fake. [Bridge (half-time)] The jukebox plays a tune I wrote, ten years gone and it still don’t float. Said “forever” on a motel sheet, now I hum it low on an empty street. [Final Chorus] Nobody knows where the wild wind blows, took my luck and my last good show. When the wheels stop turnin’, when the engine dies, I’ll still be singin’ under blood-red skies.
