The red lights stare into your eyes They burn like Ohio fireflies We were younger on the summer nights But I was born to lose For a couple of bucks into the tank We drove until the moon had sank A dead end life on a dead end road I had everything to prove I had everything to prove The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home A conversation took a turn and left me all alone Poured all my heart and spilled my blood, I screamed until it hurt I noticed that when I saw your eyes there was nothing left to burn The lonesome highway became my home I burned up all these Ohio roads The summer miles became winter nights As I memorized I75 On the dead end road that took me back To that end of summer heart attack I parked the car and crossed the tracks And I searched for those dying eyes Those dying eyes The tail lights drew closer as I followed you home A conversation took a turn and left me all alone Poured all my heart and spilled my blood, I screamed until it hurt I noticed that when I saw your eyes there was nothing left to burn My memories are shaky, shaky at best The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder My memories are shaky, shaky at best The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home Whoa The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder Poured all my heart and spilled my blood, I screamed until it hurt The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder The tail lights grew closer as I followed you home The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder Poured all my heart and spilled my blood, I screamed until it hurt The tail lights grew closer, these nights grew colder
