Racing The Dark

There's a red outline where that diamond used to beAnother time stamped love ends in casualtyA one bedroom apartment is now her greatest fearAs the crash of all the memories ring from ear to earShe's headed north out of SavannahStretchin' her pride and gasolineHeart as empty as that red gaugeAskin' God to help her seeWhy He took her therе, why He broke her hеartWhere the wheels will stop and the healin' startsChasin' I-95 and racing the darkIt's been two years now, she's just startin' to seeHer life is hers again and who she's gonna beShe's so used to runnin' can't get nowhere sittin' stillIn the silence of the morning she feels His love and always willShe's headed southbound towards SavannahStretchin' her pride and gasolineHeart as empty as that red gaugeAskin' God to help her seeWhy to go back there, when she'd come so farIf she really stops will the healin' start?Chasin' I-95 and racing the darkThere's a red outline where some roses used to beEven standin' there she still can't believeShe never saw it comin', thought she'd be the one to leaveShe whispers "I love you" and falls down on her kneesNow she's back home in SavannahMakin' friends with memoriesHer heart is fragile but it's openThankin' God He helped her seeWhy He took her there, how he'll heal her heartWhen her runnin' stops so her life can startRight off I-95 and facing the darkRight off I-95 and facing the dark
