[Verse 1] Boot prints in the diesel dust Coffee cooling on the dash Your old denim on my front seat Still smells like you Still hits me fast [Chorus] I'm an asphalt cowboy Riding these white lines alone Trading sunsets for taillights Every mile another ghost I know If you hear that midnight humming past your window That's just your asphalt cowboy Too far gone to turn back home [Verse 2] Map’s a mess of folded lies I just drive where the heartache points Small towns blur like rearview lights Your name in every diner joint [Chorus] I'm an asphalt cowboy Riding these white lines alone Trading sunsets for taillights Every mile another ghost I know If you hear that midnight humming past your window That's just your asphalt cowboy Too far gone to turn back home [Bridge] I tell myself I’ll quit the run Park this rig Come back to you (oh, I try) But this open road keeps callin' Like it knows I’m missin’ you [Chorus] I'm an asphalt cowboy Riding these white lines alone Trading sunsets for taillights Every mile another ghost I know If you wake and feel the gravel start to tremble That’s just your asphalt cowboy Still too proud to come back home
