I count the stars through the diner window
Like they're notes on a broken record
Trucks roll by like stones on the road
Each one carves a hole where your name used to glow
Old man sips his coffee slow
Waitress fills my cup doesn't ask where you go
I wonder if these walls have heard me before
They hold more quiet than the rain can pour
Neon paints me blue on these checkered floors
My shadow's the only one keeping score
Laughter rings like coins but they don't land
Just a ghost in this truck stop where we once stood
Then your eyes find mine through the smoke
Two lonely lights start to glow
We're broken records spinning in the night
Finding something in this blue light
I ordered pie for two but the seat's still cold
Busboy asks if he should take the plate
I trace Daisy in the sugar spill
Jukebox skips on the song we used to play
Neon paints me blue on these checkered floors
My shadow's the only one keeping score
Laughter rings like coins but they don't land
Just a ghost in this truck stop where we once stood
When your eyes meet mine through the smoke
Two lonely lights start to burn
We're broken records spinning in the night
Burning together in this blue light
Maybe lonely's just the price we pay
To find a light in all this grey
So I send these chords down Route 66
Where broken souls learn to sing again
Two ghosts waltzing in the diesel dawn
Lonely roads lead us here at last
Neon bleeds through the window pane
Our shadows melt into one flame
