But the world went quiet around us, like a highway at its end. And oh, those emerald eyes, flashing in the smoky dark A fleeting touch of midnight magic, a sudden, blinding spark We were two ships in the alley, hiding from the morning light A lifetime in a look, gone before the sun grew bright Now I'm trading every highway just to chase that memory tonight. She poured a double whiskey, sat her tray down for a while We talked about the towns we left, shared a broken-hearted smile She had a laugh like pouring rain on a tin roof in July For a couple of hours, I didn't care about the miles going by The clock on the wall was ticking, stealing every breath we drew Two strangers sharing secrets that nobody else ever knew. And oh, those emerald eyes, flashing in the smoky dark A fleeting touch of midnight magic, a sudden, blinding spark We were two ships in the alley, hiding from the morning light A lifetime in a look, gone before the sun grew bright Now I'm trading every highway just to chase that memory tonight. Last call came too early, the bartender cleared the room She gave me one last lingering look under the silver moon No phone numbers were written, no promises were made to keep Just a phantom kiss of winter that won't let a cowboy sleep. And oh, those emerald eyes, flashing in the smoky dark A fleeting touch of midnight magic, a sudden, blinding spark We were two ships in the alley, hiding from the morning light A lifetime in a look, gone before the sun grew bright Now I'm trading every highway just to chase that memory tonight. Yeah, the road keeps moving onward... But I'm still stuck in that bar... Staring at the dashboard... Wondering where you are. Just a jukebox memory... And those emerald eyes. #CountryMusic #TraditionalCountry #BarroomBallad #CountryLyrics #90sCountry #AcousticCountry #SadCountrySongs #countryballads
