Driveway blues 2 (version 2)

Verse 1

Neon sign in the next block is burning low

Last night's sweat still sticky on my collarbone

Engine hums like I'm watching time go by

You said drive fast so we could watch the sky

Pre-Chorus

What am I waiting for if you're not there to catch me

Where's the rhythm of a highway that's wide open

Am I the one who's lost in the sound of my own heartbeat

Do the stars know what it means when I turn it around

Chorus

Driveway blues, engine humming slow

Every mile marker counts but you don't come home

I watch your shadow disappear on the screen

Still driving under headlights that were meant to be me and you, just me

Driveway blues, heartland running free

Maybe I'll find my own speed in these driveways

Verse 2

Radio cuts out where the towers used to be

Tail lights of strangers passing down the highway

Packed your backpack with a ghost and an old sweater

I'm driving solo but I still remember how you made me move

Pre-Chorus

What am I waiting for if you're not there to catch me

Where's the rhythm of a highway that's wide open

Am I the one who's lost in the sound of my own heartbeat

Do the stars know what it means when I turn it around

Chorus

Driveway blues, engine humming slow

Every mile marker counts but you don't come home

I watch your shadow disappear on the screen

Still driving under headlights that were meant to be me and you, just me

Driveway blues, heartland running free

Maybe I'll find my own speed in these driveways

Bridge

I'm not searching for a ghost where shadows land

Just letting every curve turn into open hand

Where the road meets sky there's no more space to hide

If it takes forever or just one mile

This blue horizon is my only guide

So let the engine hum and I'll be fine

Chorus

Driveway blues, engine humming slow

Every mile marker counts but you don't come home

I watch your shadow disappear on the screen

Still driving under headlights that were meant to be me and you, just me

Driveway blues, heartland running free

Maybe I'll find my own speed in these driveways
