About

I tore our picture in half and still couldn’t throw either piece away. “Two Lane” is a country-rock song about the night I left both halves on the passenger seat and drove until I ran out of road. Had the radio turned up the whole way, and I could still hear every word we said.

Lyrics

Verse 1

There's a half-empty bottle on the passenger seat

A little ripped up photo of you and me

I'm going nowhere, but I'm going fast

It's a dead end road and I'm living in the past

Verse 2

I can't stop thinkin' 'bout the things we said

It's like a song on the radio stuck in my head

I told my friends I was doin' alright

But the truth always comes out when I'm drivin' at night

Pre-Chorus

Every mile marker's another memory

Every little town's somewhere we used to be

I can run these tires 'til they're down to the wire

But I can't outrun what you set on fire

Chorus

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Burning through the midnight rain

Got your goodbye ridin' shotgun

Got a heart that just don't know how to run

I'm chasin' down a sunset

Trying like hell just to forget

Every road I take leads me back to you

No matter what this old Chevy can do

I can get past the county line

But I can't outrun you tonight

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Trying to drive away the pain

Verse 3

There's a little bar down Highway 9

Where we used to dance 'til they turned out the lights

Now the jukebox plays our favorite song

And I can't stay, but girl, I can't move on

Verse 4

Your daddy still waves when I drive on by

And your mama still asks if I'm doing alright

I just tip my hat and say I'm fine

Then fall apart somewhere 'cross that county line

Pre-Chorus

Every mile marker's another memory

Every little town's somewhere we used to be

I can run these tires 'til they're down to the wire

But I can't outrun what you set on fire

Chorus

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Burning through the midnight rain

Got your goodbye ridin' shotgun

Got a heart that just don't know how to run

I'm chasin' down a sunset

Trying like hell just to forget

Every road I take leads me back to you

No matter what this old Chevy can do

I can get past the county line

But I can't outrun you tonight

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Trying to drive away the pain

Bridge

I could sell this truck

Leave this town

Find a little place where you ain't around

Change my number

Change my name

But I'd still be the fool that let you walk away

Chorus

And if you called right now

I'd turn this thing around

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Burning through the midnight rain

Got your goodbye ridin' shotgun

Got a heart that just don't know how to run

I'm chasin' down a sunset

Trying like hell just to forget

Every road I take leads me back to you

No matter what this old Chevy can do

I can get past the county line

But I can't outrun you tonight

I'm raising hell on a two-lane

Trying to drive away the pain

Outro

Yeah, I can leave this town

But I just can't leave you behind

Hell on a two-lane

One more lonely ride
