Verse 1

I remember everything, even things I wish I didn’t,

Like the glow of sundown on your face the night you said you’re quittin’.

There’s something in the way the evening falls, turns every light to gold,

And every time it hits the trees, it whispers things we never told.

Verse 2

I tried to drive away the past, took the long way out of town,

Thought a fast car and a new road might finally slow my heart down.

But memories ride shotgun, and they know every backroad too,

No matter how far I’m goin’, I still can’t outrun you.

Chorus

’Cause every mile is one Mississippi,

Every breath is two,

Counting down the seconds

Since the night I lost you.

I keep pouring out these heartaches

Like a bottle I can’t get through—

I can hide from every broken thing

But I still can’t outrun you.

Verse 3

There’s trouble in a heartbreak when the world keeps movin’ on,

When the nights feel heavy, and the days all feel too long.

I’m sipping red alone again, just like that old sad song,

Tryna toast the pain away, but the hurt just comes on strong.

Bridge

Maybe someday I’ll forget,

Or at least forget to care,

But tonight the sky is quiet

And your ghost is everywhere.

If memories were highways,

I’d chase one I never knew—

But every road just bends back ’round

To a life I lived with you.

Final Chorus

’Cause every mile is one Mississippi,

Every breath is two,

Counting down the seconds

Since the night I lost you.

I keep pouring out these heartaches

Like a bottle I can’t get through—

I can hide from every broken thing

But I still can’t outrun you.Yeah, I’m driving toward tomorrow,

But the past is in my rearview,

And no matter where this heart goes,

I still can’t outrun you.
