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
