Blacktop Honey

🎧 Title: Blacktop Honey

[Verse 1]

I left your ring on the dash

By the county line

That motel mirror lied

Said I’d be just fine

Tires on the blacktop

Cutting through the rain

I can taste your goodbye

Like a rusted chain

[Pre-Chorus]

And I’m wide awake

With your name on my tongue

I’m burned, I’m bruised

But I’m still running

[Chorus]

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

Heartbreak burns, but freedom calls

I’m alive when I hit that road

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

If loving you was letting me drown

Then I’ll drive myself back home

[Verse 2]

Your goodbye came sharp

Like a glass in my hand

I held on too long

To a sinking plan

Now the moon hangs low

On a broken chain

And every mile I take

Starts to heal the pain

[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear it now

In the engine’s cry

You can keep that ghost

I’m still getting by

[Chorus]

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

Heartbreak burns, but freedom calls

I’m alive when I hit that road

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

If loving you was letting me drown

Then I’ll drive myself back home

[Bridge]

[Electric Guitar Solo]

I found my voice in the tire smoke

Found my fire in the afterglow

You took the love

I kept the fight

Now I sing at the edge of the night

[Chorus]

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

Heartbreak burns, but freedom calls

I’m alive when I hit that road

Blacktop honey, let me go

Blacktop honey, let me go

If loving you was letting me drown

Then I’ll drive myself back home

[Outro]

Let me go

Let me go

Blacktop honey

I’m finally home
