In the glow of a lonesome highway, as the stars come alive,
I chase the taillights fading, in the quiet, empty sky.
Your voice echoes softly, like a whisper in the wind,
And I’m lost in the spaces, where we used to begin.


Every mile pulls you further, yet brings you close again,
In the dust of the road and the night’s gentle rain.
With each turn I’m reminded, in every heartfelt mile,
I’m missing you deeply, like a lost, forgotten smile.


A steel guitar’s crying, like my heart in the dark,
Every chord, every strum feels like a tear, like a scar.
The memories drift slowly, like a long, winding song,
And the road just keeps taking me where I don't belong.


Every mile pulls you further, yet brings you close again,
In the dust of the road and the night’s gentle rain.
With each turn I’m reminded, in every heartfelt mile,
I’m missing you deeply, like a lost, forgotten smile.


There’s a rhythm in the silence, a heartbeat I can’t escape,
A shadow of love lost in the time and the space.
You’re the ghost in my rearview, that I can’t leave behind,
And I feel you there softly in the back of my mind.


Every mile pulls you further, yet brings you close again,
In the dust of the road and the night’s gentle rain.
With each turn I’m reminded, in every heartfelt mile,
I’m missing you deeply, like a lost, forgotten smile.


I see our love in the sunrise, in the soft light of dawn,
But it fades like the morning, just as quickly it’s gone.
And the pain settles slowly, like the sun sinks below,
With each mile that I drive, and each mile more to go.


So I’ll keep moving forward, though my heart stays behind,
In every dusty backroad, you’re the peace I can’t find.
With a heart full of longing and a soul worn and wild,
I’m missing you deeply, in every mile, every mile.


Every mile pulls you further, yet brings you close again,
In the dust of the road and the night’s gentle rain.
With each turn I’m reminded, in every heartfelt mile,
I’m missing you deeply, like a lost, forgotten smile.

Missing You in Every Mile
