[Verse 1] The highway stretches out ahead Empty passenger seat beside me Your favorite song still on the radio Playing like you never left me Coffee cup with your lipstick stain Still sitting in the holder there I know I should've thrown it out by now But I just can't, I don't care [Chorus] I'm driving alone with you in my heart Every mile just tears me apart Your memory's riding shotgun tonight Holding on when I should let go But I can't say goodbye, no These backroads know the truth I hide I'm driving alone with you in my heart [Verse 2] Pass the diner where we used to stop For pie and coffee, talk 'til dawn The waitress asks me where you've been I just smile and move along Your perfume's fading from the air But I can still smell it sometimes When the wind blows through these open windows You're here, crossing my mind [Chorus] I'm driving alone with you in my heart Every mile just tears me apart Your memory's riding shotgun tonight Holding on when I should let go But I can't say goodbye, no These backroads know the truth I hide I'm driving alone with you in my heart [Bridge] Maybe someday I'll find the strength To let these memories fade away But tonight I'll keep on driving With yesterday [Chorus] I'm driving alone with you in my heart Every mile just tears me apart Your memory's riding shotgun tonight Holding on when I should let go But I can't say goodbye, no These backroads know the truth I hide I'm driving alone with you in my heart [Outro] Yeah, I'm driving alone But you're still here with me In my heart
