Ashes on the Highway

(Verse 1 — Male) I caught your perfume on his old shirt, The kind of truth that don’t just hurt. You swore you loved me, said I was the one, But you lit that fire and watched it burn. (Verse 2 — Female) You don’t know the nights I cried alone, Beggin’ your ghost through a broken phone. I found your lies in her lipstick stain, Now I’m drivin’ wild through pourin’ rain. (Chorus — Both) There’s ashes on the highway, love turned to dust, What we built on trust now’s covered in rust. You took my heart, I took my pain, Now there’s nothin’ left but whiskey and flame. (Verse 3 — Male) That old truck still smells like you, But I torched the seat where your love fell through. Watched the fire glow, red and gold, Just like the lies you told. (Bridge — Female) You thought I’d break, you thought I’d fall, But I’m stronger now, I’ve burned it all. From your picture frame to that goodbye note, Baby, I watched it all go up in smoke. (Final Chorus — Both, powerful harmony) There’s ashes on the highway, tears on the chrome, You had your chance, now I’m better alone. Your name’s just smoke in the rear view rain, And my heart’s clean — no more chains. (Outro — Both, soft and low) Yeah, there’s ashes on the highway… And I ain’t lookin’ back again.
