Running through the midnight road [THE RIVERS]

[Verse 1 - Male / Female] Male: I saw you standing outside the diner’s door, Said you can’t take this town anymore. Female: You’ve been talking about leaving for far too long, If you’ve got the courage, prove me wrong. [Pre-Chorus - Call & Response] Male: The highway’s open, nothing in our way. Female: Then don’t just talk—let’s leave tonight, today. [Chorus - Both] Running through the midnight road, With nothing left but what we hold. The past is heavy, the future unknown, But tonight, we’re not alone. [Verse 2 - Female / Male] Female: My mama’s working shifts she’ll never escape, Says dreams are fragile, they lose their shape. Male: My brother stayed, said the fight’s worth the pain, But I can’t breathe here, I won’t remain. [Pre-Chorus - Overlapping Voices] Female: The road don’t wait, it pulls like fire. Male: I’ll take the wheel, if you’ve got desire. [Chorus - Both] Running through the midnight road, With nothing left but what we hold. The past is heavy, the future unknown, But tonight, we’re not alone. [Bridge - Spoken/Sung, Duet] Male: I don’t have riches, just an old car. Female: I don’t need diamonds, I’ve come this far. Both: We’ll take the backstreets, hand in hand, No one can stop us, no one can stand. [Chorus - Both, stronger] Running through the midnight road, With nothing left but what we hold. The past is heavy, the future unknown, But tonight, we’re not alone. [Outro - Male / Female alternating, fading] Male: Running through the midnight road… Female: Together, we’re not alone.
