On the road alone Driving free and clear Heavy foot heavy heart But I feel you near Objects in the mirror are farther than they appear Objects in the mirror are not what they appear I see the sky and the ocean The rise and the fall What my mind regrets My heart accepts Passing witness to the crazy costume ball Lonely witness to the beauty of it all Though you're not there, I turn to stare No matter where you are I drive with you everywhere The passenger in my car The passenger of my heart It's been 5 years since I've seen you People ask why I don't grieve you The secret’s not plain to see I carry you dear to me I carry you here in the shotgun seat next to me Ever present right hand girl here next to me Though you're not there, I turn to stare No matter where you are I drive with you everywhere The passenger in my car The passenger of my heart On the road to somewhere Into the great wide open Where I go I don't care But I won’t give up hoping But with you at my side I'll drive all night to get there With you inside I'll drive all night to the heart of nowhere Though you're not there, I turn to stare No matter where you are I drive with you everywhere The passenger in my car The passenger of my heart The passenger of my heart Shotgun of my heart
