Roadside Memories

Pulled over where the sky bleeds red,
Coffee cold and dreams half-dead.
Her jacket’s still on my backseat,
Smells like rain and cheap defeat.

Gaslight flickers on her name, Backseat Redemption
The road ahead don’t feel the same.
Every mile repeats her face,
In the mirror’s empty grace.

The highway hums her lullaby,
And I still chase the reason why.

Roadside memories, burnin’ slow,
In the wind that don’t let go.
She’s gone but the ghost still rides,
Whisperin’ soft through the broken lines.

The neon hum of some old bar,
Echoes her laugh from where we are.
I drink to forget, but the truth’s too loud,
The past still speaks in the quiet crowd.

Truck stop diner, half-lit sign,
Plays her song at closing time.
I tip my hat to what I lost,
Love was real, but it had a cost.

Some roads end, but not the pain,
It rides shotgun in my brain.

Roadside memories, fade and glow,
Like cigarette embers in the snow.
She’s long gone but the mark remains,
Carved in dust and diesel veins.

I keep her note inside the dash,
Faded ink, a final clash.
“Keep drivin’, boy, don’t settle down,”
Now her voice owns every town.

The dawn breaks slow, the engine sighs,
The truth’s still sharp beneath the lies.
And though I ride through time and rain,
Her ghost still hums inside my brain.

If love’s a road, then mine’s unpaved,
Lined with dreams I never saved.

Roadside memories, cruel and kind,
Etched like scars across my mind.
She’s gone but I still know,
The road remembers where I go.

If someday I reach her shore,
Will she care what I drove for?
Or will she smile and turn away,
Like she did that August day?

Till then I drive, my truth, my sin,
With ghosts that ride beneath my skin.
The miles forgive, the heart forgets —
But the roadside never lets.

The wind don’t heal, it just repeats,
Every name the silence keeps.

Roadside memories, dust and flame,
Every loss still speaks her name.
The world moves on — I stay behind,
Chasin’ memories I’ll never find.

🌵 Stories of dust roads, whiskey nights, broken hearts, and the search for redemption.
🤠 Music inspired by the raw spirit of the West and the honesty of a lone rider chasing truth.
