Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 Midnight wind through the cottonwood trees, Carries your name like a prayer on the breeze. I’ve chased the stars across state lines, Just so I can hold your hand in mine. The fire we started still burns in my chest, And every mile, I feel it more, not less. It don’t matter what I'm goin' through, I’m always drawn back here to you. I miss your voice in the morning light, And how your arms used to hold me tight. I’ve tried forgettin', tried movin’ on, But without you I'm just a sad old song. I thought that distance would dull the pain, And yet, all those feelings still remain. No matter where I go or what I do, Girl, every road leads back to you. That night together still haunts my dreams, The bright moonlight and the cast off jeans. Your touch left a mark that time can’t fade, It lingers like a promise never made. I see you in crowds, hear you in songs, Feel you beside me, although you’re gone. No matter how strong I pretend to be, Your memory keeps calling out to me. I miss your voice in the morning light, And how your arms used to hold me tight. I’ve tried forgettin', tried movin’ on, But without you I'm just a sad old song. I thought that distance would dull the pain, And yet, all those feelings still remain. No matter where I go or what I do, Girl, every road leads back to you. My heart feels lost from town to town, But I just can't be slowing down. Now ev'ry highway marker sign, Reminds me what I left behind. With ev'ry one that's passing by, I sometimes think that I might cry. I see your face in my rearview, And I've just got to get to you. I miss your voice in the morning light, And how your arms used to hold me tight. I’ve tried forgettin', tried movin’ on, But without you I'm just a sad old song. I thought that distance would dull the pain, And yet, all those feelings still remain. No matter where I go or what I do, Girl, every road leads back to you.
