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
