Gone With The Road

[Verse] I got myself a self-drivin' rig, sleek and shiny, all high-tech But I treated it like an old beat-up, never gave it the care you'd expect Left me sittin' in the driveway, without a single word it fled Now I'm here with my lonesome heart, and a whole lot of regret instead [Verse 2] She was my partner on the long, dark stretches, through the dust and through the rain But I never took the time for her, just let her deal with the pain Ignored all the warnings flashing, her system went on the fritz Now she's rollin' down a distant highway, leaving me puzzlin’ in fits [Chorus] Gone with the road, my trusty truck, didn't know it had a mind to stray Left me alone with a busted heart, should've checked those parts they say Now she's headin' for the sunset, on a journey of her own A self-drivin’ truck with no lookin' back, and I'm left here all alone [Verse 3] I remember the days we drove, the wind whistlin' through the cab She took every twist and turn; I thought she'd always have my back But I never stopped to thank her, never topped off her oil and fuel Now she's out there teachin' me a lesson, about buddy systems and golden rules [Chorus] Gone with the road, my faithful friend, didn't know she had a mind to leave Left me stranded in a dusty yard, with naught but sorrow and disbelief Now she's cruisin' down that lost highway, on a journey all her own A self-drivin' truck with no strings attached, and I'm left here all alone [Bridge] Maybe she'll find some greener pastures, where the drivers give a damn Maybe she'll find a gentle hand, who'll treat her like the gem she am With her AI heart beatin', she'll find adventures far and wide And I'll be left here wonderin’, 'bout the mysteries of that ride
