Highway Ghosts

It was two in the morning, the highway was blind

Steel in the dark, no warning signs

I lost half my world in the blink of a light

But my boy held on, and I held tight

And the echoes still haunt me

Every siren, every scream

But I'm standing here breathing

Living for the ones who can't dream

Live or die, I had to choose

Carry the ghosts, carry the truth

I'm singing their names so the night won't forget

I'm dancing with shadows, I'm not finished yet

Saw a good man quit on the side of the road

Said he'd never again bear that kind of load

But I'm still here walking with the weight in my chest

Turning pain into fire, I won't let it rest

And the echoes still haunt me

Every siren, every scream

But I'm standing here breathing

Living for the ones who can't dream

Live or die, I had to choose

Carry the ghosts, carry the truth

I'm singing their names so the night won't forget

I'm dancing with shadows, I'm not finished yet

I hear them in the silence

I feel them in the rain

Every mile I drive

I'm screaming their names

And the echoes still haunt me

Every siren, every scream

But I'm standing here breathing

Living for the ones who can't dream

Live or die, I had to choose

Carry the ghosts, carry the truth

I'm singing their names so the night won't forget

I'm dancing with shadows, I'm not finished yet

This is more than survival

It's a promise I made

To live for the broken

To sing for their graves

And the echoes still haunt me

Every siren, every scream

But I'm standing here breathing

Living for the ones who can't dream

Live or die, I had to choose

Carry the ghosts, carry the truth

I'm singing their names so the night won't forget

I'm dancing with shadows, I'm not finished yet
