[Verse 1 – Male]
Parked out back
By the fence line, engine low
Watch your porch light
Cut through my dashboard glow
His red Silverado
Chromed-out, big and loud
Sittin’ front row
Like he’s wearin’ my vows
I see your shadow
On the blinds in our room
Two hands, one body
Where mine used to move
Got my hand on the shifter
Other one on my face
Tryin’ to wipe off
What I can’t erase
[Chorus – Both]
Red Silverado in my driveway, in my life
Got a stranger in my place, you in his sights
I’m parked on the side of this house
Watchin’ you burn us down
So I back it up slow, don’t say a word
Tail lights talk louder than my hurt
You made your choice right there under that sky
Red Silverado, goodbye
[Verse 2 – Female]
I hear gravel
Crunch beneath some hidden wheels
Know that hum
I know the way your leaving feels
You on the dark side
Of the house we picked out
Where we planned names
We don’t talk about
I see his keys
On the hook where yours should be
He’s laughin’ easy
Like he earned this key
But through that thin wall
Your silence screams my name
As you ghost me
From the spot we framed
[Chorus – Both]
Red Silverado in my driveway, in my life
Got a stranger in my place, you in his sights
I’m parked on the side of this house
Watchin’ you burn us down
So I back it up slow, don’t say a word
Tail lights talk louder than my hurt
You made your choice right there under that sky
Red Silverado, goodbye
[Bridge – Male Rap / Female Ad-libs]
[low vocal register]
Pull up, kill lights, heart beatin’ out my chest (yeah)
See his bumper sticker sittin’ where you used to rest
Got my hoodie up high, breath fog on the glass
Watch his hands on your hips, like a movie of our past
Used to hold you in this driveway, same dirt, same view (same view)
Now I’m third wheel to a rerun that ain’t true
Got the ring in my cup holder, metal colder than your eyes
When you lied last night, sayin’ “Baby, I’m too tired”
[female ad-libs, soft]
Too tired, too tired
You were never that tired
[Male]
So I drop it in drive, let the gravel spit fire
Country boy heart with a backroad choir
Every mile I put between me and that sight
Is a prayer you’ll replay when he don’t treat you right
[Chorus – Both]
[chorus]
[Outro – Female]
I watch your dust
Fade into that midnight blue
Red Silverado sittin’ where I once loved you
House still standin’
But we both know that’s a lie
All that’s left here
Is a stranger and a sky
[Male, whispered vocals]
Red Silverado
Goodbye
