As lonesome as a whippoorwill
Who's lost his only love
As far as he can fly
There's no place far enough

Lord I know just how it feels
Stranded here behind this wheel
With time, just time
Nothing but your memory fills
The empty space beside me
As I drive, just drive

This dirt road heartache
Regret on red clay
Way past way too late
All you can hear for miles arounds
The sound that goodbye makes
Oh there's freedom in these two headlights
Shinning through the dust
Waiting past the memory of us
Down this dirt road heartache

The grinding of the gears
Just spinning wheels on rocks
When is this missing you in
Circles gonna stop
I can't turn this thing around
And I can't change the fact
That you're gone, long gone
It doesn't matter where I turn
Cause everywhere I go
I'm on, still on

This dirt road heartache
Regret on red clay, It's
Way past way too late
All you can hear for miles arounds
The sound that goodbye makes
Oh there's freedom in these two headlights
Shinning through the dust
Waiting past the memory of us
Down this dirt road heartache

Cause there's freedom in these two headlights
Shinning through the dust
Waiting past the memory of us
Down this dirt road heartache
Down this dirt road heartache
Down this dirt road heartache
