Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – lone acoustic guitar + distant train-whistle pad] Mmm-hmm… yeah… here we go [Verse 1 – soft, finger-picked guitar + light reverb] I still take the backroads where the streetlights end Radio silent, ’cause every song feels like pretend Your ghost rides shotgun, perfume in the air A hundred thousand miles and I still see you there [Pre-Chorus – kick drum fades in + soft pedal steel] I told the world I’m fine, put on a brave face But every exit sign still carries your name [Chorus – full band swells, warm and aching] A hundred thousand miles of missin’ you White lines blur like all the nights I made you cry Crowd sings every word, but they don’t know the truth That the girl in the front row used to be my whole life [Verse 2 – heartbeat kick + faint banjo rolls] Wrote the saddest song and it bought me this bus They call it platinum, I call it “losing us” Spotlights feel cold when the only light I need Is the one that walked away from me [Pre-Chorus – bigger, strings creeping in] I was one hour from another empty stage… Then I pushed that coffee-shop door [Chorus – raw, almost breaking] A hundred thousand miles of missin’ you And every mile was leadin’ me back to your eyes You looked up, I looked up, time stood still And the whole damn world finally felt right [Bridge – everything drops to just voice + soft piano] You said “Hey stranger…” I said “Hey forever…” Then you smiled… and the darkness was over [Final Chorus – massive, triumphant, full choir of harmonies] Now we’re drivin’ a hundred thousand more with you Shotgun singin’, windows down, brand-new Turned the saddest song I ever wrote Into the loudest “I love you” the highway’s ever known Yeah, we’re a hundred thousand miles of found you Baby, welcome home [Outro – acoustic again, crickets fade in] Thank you for waiting… This one’s for the 100K who cried with me Now smile with me.
