Lyrics
(Verse 1) Heartbeat drum on the dashboard light, Firefly fade into the city night. Creaking porch swing, a memory sweet, These worn out boots, restless on my feet. Small town whispers, "Stay a while, dear," But the highway's callin', loud and clear. (Chorus) Highway wildflowers, a fleeting grace, Sun-kissed dreams on a weathered face. Neon promise in the city's gleam, Lost somewhere in between. This gasoline heart, it burns so bright, Chasing shadows in the fading light. (Verse 2) Familiar faces in the grocery line, Feel like portraits from another time. Concrete canyons, cold and tall, Another lonely number answering the call. Gilded cage or a hollow throne? Either way, I'm better off alone. (Chorus) Highway wildflowers, a fleeting grace, Sun-kissed dreams on a weathered face. Neon promise in the city's gleam, Lost somewhere in between. This gasoline heart, it burns so bright, Chasing shadows in the fading light. (Bridge) This road ain't paved with silver or gold, Just broken asphalt stories, yet to be told. Headlights cuttin' through the inky black, No lookin' back, no turnin' back. Maybe euphoria's just a state of mind, Something I left far behind. (Chorus) Highway wildflowers, a fleeting grace, Sun-kissed dreams on a weathered face. Neon promise in the city's gleam, Lost somewhere in between. This gasoline heart, it burns so bright, Chasing shadows in the fading light. (Outro) Oh, the fading light... Lost somewhere in between... Highway wildflowers...
