I ride my small electric car along the shore
Pluck two wild roses wrapped in old newspaper
Slow to the seaside her little cabin door
Park by the wall peek through the window floor
A sedan sits in the yard bathed in sunset glow
That slick-haired man steps out and draws her close and slow
An eighty-carat chain around her neck he lay
They laugh and climb in drive far away
I wonder if they dine by the tide
Or head back to his place to hide
Clear sky spreads wide blue sea meets the horizon line
One dark cloud drifts behind following my mind
She’s not on my backseat the sea wind blows hollow
Bright skies all around yet I walk through rain and sorrow
Rain soaks my cheeks mixed with tears that freely flow
She’s not on my backseat my ride feels light and low
The world shines bright and fine while grief is all I know
The vows we once made are memories that hurt so
I curl in my bed long nights refuse to rest
I dream of him holding the girl I loved the best
He kisses her face his pride is manifest
Coke and fried wings can’t mend this aching chest
I ride the coast each day back and forth I roam
Chasing the sweet love that we once called our home
Strangers pass me by faces all unknown
I’ll never feel her lean on my shoulder bone
Clear sky spreads wide blue sea meets the horizon line
One dark cloud drifts behind following my mind
She’s not on my backseat the sea wind blows hollow
Bright skies all around yet I walk through rain and sorrow
Rain soaks my cheeks mixed with tears that freely flow
She’s not on my backseat my ride feels light and low
The world shines bright and fine while grief is all I know
The vows we once made are memories that hurt so
I try to shake the ache my buddy comes along
We ride to the club join the lively throng
Dancers fill the floor pretty girls among
Wondering who will sit where she once belonged
Then my phone lights up a message full of woe
Says that slick-haired man’s gone and stolen my girl’s glow
I rush on my ride my heart is racing fast
I see the scene that breaks my world at last
He kneels with roses faking remorse and plea
An eighty-carat chain around her neck to see
Clear sky spreads wide blue sea meets the horizon line
Dark cloud hangs down low weighing on my mind
She’s not on my backseat the sea wind blows hollow
Bright skies all around yet I walk through rain and sorrow
Rain soaks my cheeks mixed with tears that freely flow
She’s not on my backseat my ride feels light and low
The world shines bright and fine while grief is all I know
The vows we once made are memories that hurt so
Palm trees breathe slow ocean waves roll and roam
No one on my backseat
I sing my song alone
