[Verse 1] Neon leading through the rearview mirror Another town I leave behind The highway whispers and the air gets clearer But I cannot outrun a heavy mind You left your coffee cup on the dashboard Staring at the lines on the road Like just a ghost in the passenger seat And a story left untold [Chorus] Driving into the midnight blue Still got the blues over you The baseline is pumping The radio is low My heart is stuck in half-tempo Oh it's a beautiful lonely ride Cruising on a midnight coastline [Verse 2] I'm popping a tape from 1984 Small-school track we used to spin The sax is crying through the cabin door Reminding me of where we've been A little bit of funk to heal the pain A little bit of rain on the glass I try to find the target of the groove Hoping that the sadness will pass [Chorus] Driving into the midnight blue Still got the blues over you The baseline is pumping The radio is low My heart is stuck in half-tempo Oh it's a beautiful lonely ride Cruising on a midnight coastline [Outro] Just a baritone soul In a late-night world Fading out with the tide On the midnight coastline
