paroles de chanson Racing The Dark - Alan Jackson

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

And 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 racin′ 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 mornin′, she feels his love and always will

She′s headed southbound toward 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 racin′ 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

And 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 facin' the dark

Right off I-95
And facin′ the dark
