Racing The Dark

There's a red outline where that diamond used to be
Another time stamped love ends in casualty
A one bedroom apartment is now her greatest fear
As the crash of all the memories ring from ear to ear

She's headed north out of Savannah
Stretchin' her pride and gasoline
Heart as empty as that red gauge
Askin' God to help her see
Why He took her there, why He broke her heart
Where the wheels will stop and the healin' starts
Chasin' I-95 and racing the dark

It's been two years now, she's just startin' to see
Her life is hers again and who she's gonna be
She's so used to runnin' can't get nowhere sittin' still
In the silence of the morning she feels His love and always will

She's headed southbound towards Savannah
Stretchin' her pride and gasoline
Heart as empty as that red gauge
Askin' God to help her see
Why to go back there, when she'd come so far
If she really stops will the healin' start?
Chasin' I-95 and racing the dark

There's a red outline where some roses used to be
Even standin' there she still can't believe
She never saw it comin', thought she'd be the one to leave
She whispers "I love you" and falls down on her knees

Now she's back home in Savannah
Makin' friends with memories
Her heart is fragile but it's open
Thankin' God He helped her see
Why He took her there, how he'll heal her heart
When her runnin' stops so her life can start
Right off I-95 and facing the dark
Right off I-95 and facing the dark
