Racing The Dark

There's a red outline where that diamond used to be Another time-stamped love ends in casualty A one-bedroom apartment is now her greatest fear As the crash of all the memories ring from ear to ear

And she's headed north out of Savannah Stretchin' her pride and gasoline Heart as empty as that red gauge Askin' God to help her see

Why he took her there Why he broke her heart Where the wheels will stop And the healin' starts Chasin' I-95 And racin' the dark

It's been two years now, she's just startin' to see Her life is hers again and who she's gonna be She's so used to runnin', can't get nowhere sittin' still In the silence of the mornin', she feels his love and always will

She's headed southbound toward Savannah Stretchin' her pride and gasoline Heart as empty as that red gauge Askin' God to help her see

Why to go back there When she'd come so far If she really stops Will the healin' start? Chasin' I-95 And racin' the dark

There's a red outline where some roses used to be Even standin' there, she still can't believe She never saw it comin', thought she'd be the one to leave She whispers, "I love you" and falls down on her knees

And now she's back home in Savannah Makin' friends with memories Her heart is fragile but it's open Thankin' God, He helped her see

Why He took her there How He'll heal her heart When her runnin' stops So her life can start Right off I-95 And facin' the dark

Right off I-95 And facin' the dark
