Exit 17 at Sundown

[Verse 1] Pulled off at exit 17 Same old diner, same booth, same view Coffee tastes like it always did But the seat across is missing you Your name’s still in my rearview Written in dust on the glass This highway ain’t that long But it sure can stretch the past [Chorus] So I’ll sit here at sundown Let the sky burn out to gray Tracing hearts in the ring on this table Where your glass used to stay I keep telling this waitress “We’re waiting on one more” like a fool Losing you wasn’t sudden It was every mile away from you [Verse 2] Your laugh lives in the jukebox Some old song I can’t turn off Every line sounds a little like us Right down to the leaving part There’s a map in my glove box Marked with towns we swore we’d see Funny how you can circle the world And still miss where you’re supposed to be [Chorus] So I’ll sit here at sundown Let the sky burn out to gray Tracing hearts in the ring on this table Where your glass used to stay I keep telling this waitress “We’re waiting on one more” like a fool Losing you wasn’t sudden It was every mile away from you [Bridge] If you ever take this exit And that old bell above the door sings (hey) I’ll be right here in this corner Guarding all our empty things [Chorus] So I’ll sit here at sundown Let the sky burn out to gray Tracing hearts in the ring on this table Where your glass used to stay I keep telling this waitress “We’re waiting on one more” like a fool Losing you wasn’t sudden It was every mile away from you
