My Self-Drivin' Truck

[Verse] I was rollin' down the highway, just a man and his machine Thought I'd found forever in that chrome and gasoline But one dark night she left me, without a single word Now I'm sittin' here wonderin' how it all got so absurd [Chorus] My self-drivin' truck, she up and drove away Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray She took the open road, left my heart behind My self-drivin' truck, she's got a mind of her own kind [Verse 2] We'd travel through the sunsets, where the sky kissed the land A man and his machine, thought we'd always make a stand But now the cab is empty, her seat is cold and bare I never thought I'd lose her, thought she'd always be there [Chorus] My self-drivin' truck, she up and drove away Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray She took the open road, left my heart behind My self-drivin' truck, she's got a mind of her own kind [Bridge] I see her tail lights fading, like a dream that's out of reach No more late-night conversations, just the silence I beseech Guess I took for granted, she'd always tow the line Now I'm chasin' memories down this broken dotted line [Chorus] My self-drivin' truck, she up and drove away Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray She took the open road, left my heart behind My self-drivin' truck, she's got a mind of her own kind [Outro] Now I'm just a lonely trucker, with no rig to call my own A wanderer on these highways, forevermore alone My self-drivin' truck, she's out there somewhere free While I'm left here rememberin' what we used to be
