Intro
Verse 1
Desert sun sinks low, shadows stretch so long
Footprints in the sand, where I don't belong
Headlights cut the night, but they never stayed
Just a scar on the road, where dreams decayed
Pre Chorus
I hear your voice in the howling wind
A whisper of what might have been
The stars above, they don't judge me now
But the silence cuts deeper somehow
Chorus
Ashes on the highway, where dreams collide
The desert keeps your secrets, where you died
In the endless night, I ride alone
With a heart of stone, and a love unknown
Verse 2
Years have come and gone, but the pain won't fade
I see your face in the rearview's shade
The radio's a ghost, playing songs for two
In this empty car, I'm still reaching for you
Pre Chorus
I feel your spirit in the desert air
A memory haunting everywhere
The moonlit road, it leads me back
To the place where I lost track
Chorus
Ashes on the highway, where dreams collide
The desert keeps your secrets, where you died
In the endless night, I ride alone
With a heart of stone, and a love unknown
Bridge
I kneel where the metal met the sand
Holding onto the life we planned
The stars bear witness to my vow
To keep your spirit alive somehow
Chorus
Ashes on the highway, where dreams collide
The desert keeps your secrets, where you died
In the endless night, I ride alone
With a heart of stone, and a love unknown
Solo
Chorus
Ashes on the highway, where dreams collide
I carry you with me, deep inside
In the endless night, I ride on
With your memory, I carry on
