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
Stretching her pride in gasoline
Heart is empty as that red gauge
Asking God to help her see
Why he took her away
Why he took her there
Why he broke her heart
Where the wheels will stop
And the healing stars
Chasing I-95
And racing the dog
It's been two years now
She's just starting to see
Her life is hers again
And who she's gonna be
She's so used to running
Can't get nowhere sitting still
In the silence of the morning
She feels his love and always will
She's headed southbound toward Savannah
Stretching her pride in gasoline
Heart is empty as that red gauge
Asking God to help her see
Why he took her away
Asking God to help her see
Why he took her away
To go back there
When she comes so far
If she really stops
Will the healing start
Chasing I-95
And racing the dog
There's a red outline where some roses used to be
Even standing there, she still can't believe
She never saw it coming, 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, making friends with memories
Her heart is fragile but it's open, thanking God he helped her see
Why he took her there, how he'll heal her heart
When her running stops, so her life can start
Right off I-95
And facing the dark
Right off I-95
And facing the dark
