       Em                               D                  C 
I'm driving through a desert that stretches without an end 
         G                   D                 C 
My old car rattles, my cigarette burns, no need to pretend 
           Em                 D               C 
The smoke swirls and twists, forming visions in the air 
    Em                     D                C 
A mirage in the distance, but it leads me nowhere 

    Em                       D                 C 
I glance in the rearview, haunted by the days long gone 
           G                        D                  C 
The road feels endless because the past keeps holding on 
   D         Em              D             C 
No matter how I push ahead, the memories stay strong 
              Em                 D                       C 
I'm caught between what's right and where I don't belong 



             Em               D        C 
The sun sets red, and the shadows grow 
           G                    D                C 
 I chase horizons, but the truth I'll never know 
             Em                 D      C 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds cry 
                  G            D              C 
This road's my burden, beneath the endless sky 

            Em                       D                            C 
I've learned not to trust old friends; their words are never true 
       G             D                          C 
They ask for a ride but leave you broken and bruised 
 Em                       D             C 
Love on the corners is fleeting and cold 
        Em            D               C 
Like promises whispered but never told 

      D       Em                 D      C 
The sky bleeds fire as the sun dips low 
              G                  D           C 
My dogs rest quiet, but my mind won't let go 
         Em           D              C 
I wonder if I have a family waiting somewhere 
           Em                 D                C 
But I keep driving, chasing freedom in the air 



             Em               D        C 
The sun sets red, and the shadows grow 
           G                    D                C 
 I chase horizons, but the truth I'll never know 
             Em                 D      C 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds cry 
                  G            D              C 
This road's my burden, beneath the endless sky 

Em                   D             C 
Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm running from the lies 
Em                D                   C 
Or from my own shadow that stretches under the skies 
 Em           D                  C 
False words echo, but I've hardened my skin 
   Em           D                           C 
The radio plays songs that won't let me win 



             Em               D        C 
The sun sets red, and the shadows grow 
           G                    D                C 
 I chase horizons, but the truth I'll never know 
             Em                 D      C 
The whiskey stings, the blackbirds cry 
                  G            D              C 
This road's my burden, beneath the endless sky
