🎵 Lyrics:

There’s dust on the dashboard, and your picture on the seat
Old radio static, plays the last thing we believed
Front porch lamp is glowing, but nobody’s there tonight
Just shadows on the driveway, and echoes of goodbye

Your laughter rolls like thunder far out across the fields
But all that’s left is silence and a truth I can’t conceal

Empty highways carry me where the memories ache
Under dying sunset colors and mistakes we couldn’t shake
Every mile’s a story I wished we could’ve changed
But the only thing that lingers is the whisper of your name
So I drive down empty highways, searching for my way home again

Whiskey by the window, and I watch the evening fall
Your boots by the doorway, been untouched since last fall
Broken words and wishes, lost on midnight winds
Every town reminds me this is how losing you begins

The past is rolling by me on this lonely gravel road
The future you and I planned, gone with the setting sun, untold

Empty highways carry me where the memories ache
Under dying sunset colors and mistakes we couldn’t shake
Every mile’s a story I wished we could’ve changed
But the only thing that lingers is the whisper of your name
So I drive down empty highways, searching for my way home again

I see us on that front porch, laughing through the rain
Now the only sound is heartache, and the tires slipping past your lane
Sometimes it takes the darkness just to feel what’s gone
You can love someone forever—and still end up alone

Empty highways carry me where the memories ache
Under dying sunset colors and mistakes we couldn’t shake
Every mile’s a story I wished we could’ve changed
But the only thing that lingers is the whisper of your name
So I drive down empty highways, searching for my way home again
