[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I’m three hundred miles south of where we said goodbye
White lines and white lies keep me company tonight
Your perfume still lingers on this worn-out seat
Like a ghost that won’t leave, ridin’ shotgun with me
Neon signs and cheap beer, another lonely town
I keep chasin’ the sunset, but the sun keeps goin’ down
Every song on this radio sounds like the one we played
When you swore forever, baby, then you walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, the rearview’s full of leavin’
And the highway’s full of pain
[Chorus]
I got dust on my boots and your memory on my mind
A heartache in the fast lane doin’ ninety-five
I can outrun the law, but I can’t outrun you
No matter how far I drive, girl, I’m still in love
With the one that got away, somewhere back in yesterday
Dust on my boots, your memory on my mind
[Verse 2]
Stopped at a honky-tonk just outside Lubbock city limits
Some old boy on the jukebox singin’ ‘bout the one he misses
I raised a glass to the both of us, laughed till it hurt
Then I cried in my whiskey when they played our damn song first
I left a twenty on the bar, walked out into the dark
Heard your voice in the west Texas wind tearin’ me apart
[Chorus]
I got dust on my boots and your memory on my mind
A heartache in the fast lane doin’ ninety-five
I can outrun the law, but I can’t outrun you
No matter how far I drive, girl, I’m still in love
With the one that got away, somewhere back in yesterday
Dust on my boots, your memory on my mind
[Bridge]
One of these days I’ll park this truck, let the engine finally die
H**g up these keys and face the truth I’ve been outrun by goodbye
But tonight I’m just a fool with a full tank and a broken heart
Runnin’ from the only thing that ever felt like home
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, dust on my boots and your memory on my mind
I’m prayin’ to the heavens that I leave you behind
But every mile I roll just brings me back to you
God knows I’ve tried, but I can’t say goodbye
You’re the rearview mirror I can’t stop lookin’ through
Dust on my boots… your memory on my mind
Lord, your memory on my mind
[Tag]
Keep the porch light burnin’, baby…
I might just find my way home.
[Outro]
