[Verse 1] The phone rang early on a Tuesday morning Coffee barely touched my lips Donna said she had a strange one And it wasn't something I could skip Folks were seeing lights at midnight Out beyond the county line Something lurking in the darkness Leaving everybody spooked and blind I packed my boots and hit the highway Purple dawn above the trees Something told me this adventure Wouldn't end too easily [Pre-Chorus] Every story starts with rumors Every haunting starts with fear Every mystery leaves breadcrumbs If you know what you're looking for [Chorus] Me and Donna on the backroads Running hard through the dead of night Chasing ghosts and troublemakers Bringing hidden things to light She's got instincts, I've got questions Neither one of us backs down If a spirit wants a showdown We're the last thing it wants around [Verse 2] The fairgrounds sat beneath the moonlight Silent as an empty stage Every witness told a different story Every clue turned another page Donna talked to half the county I was buried in old files By lunchtime we'd solved three riddles And driven seventy miles Different roads to the same answer Different ways to get there too But when the darkness starts moving We know exactly what to do [Pre-Chorus] Cold wind blowing through the grandstand Footsteps where no one should be Something hidden in the darkness Waiting patiently for me [Chorus] Me and Donna on the backroads Running hard through the dead of night Chasing ghosts and troublemakers Bringing hidden things to light She's got instincts, I've got questions Neither one of us backs down If a spirit wants a showdown We're the last thing it wants around [Bridge] The EMF started screaming The lights began to fade The air turned cold around us And the shadows seemed to change Every witness had a theory Every theory had a flaw Every answer raised a question That we hadn't noticed before The tension kept on building The mystery grew tall So I called a couple hunters Who had seen it all before Sam said check the family history There's always something there Dean said if we found the bones We'd better burn them with care The line went dead a second later And we got right back to work [Guitar Solo] (Burning Southern-rock guitar solo) [Breakdown] She's got patience I've got stubborn She's got instincts I've got notes She reads people I read records Somehow that keeps us both afloat She's got stories from Sioux Falls I've got stories from back home Put us on the same case file And we'll never leave it alone [Final Chorus] Me and Donna on the backroads Foot down heavy, engines loud Chasing every haunted rumor Rolling through another town She's got heart and I've got grit now Together we're a force of two If the darkness comes a-calling We're already coming through Hey! Another highway! Hey! Another ghost! Hey! Another mystery! And another story to tell! [Outro] The sunrise painted gold across us Another case was finally done But somewhere down another highway Another battle had begun Donna pointed toward the horizon A distant light was flickering blue Looks like we're not finished yet... Another highway... Another mystery... Another story to tell.
