Lyrics

Engine hum, midnight run,
White lines blur where the hell I’m from,
Got your voice on the radio static,
Every word still hits automatic
Dashboard lit like a memory lane,
Your name still burns in the pouring rain,
Tried to drown it in a Tennessee night,
But you don’t fade in neon lights
I keep drivin’, but I ain’t movin’ on
Every mile just proves you’re gone
Rearview full of what we were
Can’t outrun the way it hurts
You’re just ghosts in the headlights, callin’ my name
Every turn, every town feels the same
Like a shadow in the white lines, won’t let me go
No matter how far down this road
Yeah I tried every backstreet, every back bar
But you’re right here in this beat-up car
Burnin’ through every song I write
You’re just ghosts… in the headlights tonight
Whiskey breath and a broken past,
Every “forever” turned to “didn’t last”,
Saw your face in a passing town,
Turned the wheel but you weren’t around
Cheap motel, flickerin’ sign,
Left your side of the bed untouched this time,
Thought I’d find some peace in sleep,
But you’re louder in my dreams
I keep drivin’, but I ain’t movin’ on
Every mile just proves you’re gone
Rearview full of what we were
Can’t outrun the way it hurts
You’re just ghosts in the headlights, callin’ my name
Every turn, every town feels the same
Like a shadow in the white lines, won’t let me go
No matter how far down this road
Yeah I tried every backstreet, every back bar
But you’re right here in this beat-up car
Burnin’ through every song I write
You’re just ghosts… in the headlights tonight
Maybe I don’t wanna let you fade
Maybe I’m the one that stayed
Stuck between the then and now
Don’t know who I am without
Every mile just circles back
To the love we couldn’t have
So I keep you ridin’ shotgun still
Even when I know I will…
You’re just ghosts in the headlights, callin’ my name
Every turn, every town feels the same
Like a fire in the white lines, won’t let me go
No matter how far down this road
Yeah I tried every backstreet, every back bar
But you’re right here in this beat-up car
Burnin’ through every song I write
You’re just ghosts… in the headlights tonight
Engine hum… fades to black
But I still feel you in every track
Miles gone, but you’re still mine
Ghosts in the headlights… every time
