Lyrics
"Highway to Remember"
Yves Stilmant © 2025
Verse 1A
I took the long road out of that town
Just me and the sun as it went down
A full tank of gas and a heavy heart
Trying to drive from where we fell apart
Verse 1B
The sky turned gold then faded to blue
That old song played and I thought of you
I rolled the window down for air
And I could feel you everywhere
Pre-Chorus 1
I try to leave it all behind
But you're still riding in my mind
Chorus
It's a highway to remember, where the past won't fade
Every line on the road still calls your name
No matter how far I run, you're never gone
You're the sound in the wheels, the pull in the song
I keep driving through the hurt and the weather
On this highway to remember
Verse 2A
Passed by the diner where we would meet
Your name still carved in the corner seat
I parked outside but stayed in the car
Just stared at ghosts from where we are
Verse 2B
I laughed too loud just to hide the ache
Then heard our jukebox song start to play
The wind kicked up, I felt the weight
Of every mile and twist of fate
Pre-Chorus 2
I fake a smile and look ahead
But you're still there in signs I read
Chorus
It's a highway to remember, where the past won't fade
Every line on the road still calls your name
No matter how far I run, you're never gone
You're the sound in the wheels, the pull in the song
I keep driving through the hurt and the weather
On this highway to remember
Bridge
If I could turn around and start again
Would you be waiting at the end?
But some roads bend and never mend
Some hearts don't get to love again
Final Chorus (Lifted Emotion)
It's a highway to remember, paved in love and pain
I still see you in every line I change
No matter where I go, you're still the man
You're the fire in the sky, the setting sun
And the wind keeps calling us together
On this highway to remember
Outro (Stripped, acoustic)
Tail lights fade in the mirror slow
But you're the place I still call home
On this highway... to remember
