[Verse 1: Mt. Joy]
Well, there's only a few pines left by the highway side
And they all whistle as the wind rips straight through your pride
Baby, it's only your eyes and mine
And this darkness that grows in time
[Pre-Chorus: Mt. Joy]
Oh, 'cause you left home on that airplane, running
Never looked back, but you can tell it's coming
My highway queen must be hiding something
[Chorus: Mt. Joy]
And I want you to know I'm behind you
We could slow it down, honey, let it find you
And I want you to know nobody's leaving
No, I ain't scared of your demons
That's just what makes you a real thing
[Verse 2: Maren Morris]

[Pre-Chorus: Maren Morris, Maren Morris & Mt. Joy]
Oh, 'cause you left home on that airplane, running

[Chorus: Mt. Joy & Maren Morris]
And I want you to know I'm behind you
We could slow it down, honey, let it find you
And I want you to know nobody's leaving
No, I ain't scared of your demons
That's just what makes you
That's just what makes you
That's just what makes you a real thing
[Pre-Chorus: Mt. Joy, Mt. Joy & Maren Morris]
Oh, we both left home on that airplane, running
We never looked back, but you can tell it's coming
My highway queen must be hiding something
[Chorus: Mt. Joy & Maren Morris]
And I want you to know I'm behind you
We could slow it down, honey, let it find you
And I want you to know nobody's leaving
Honey, I ain't scared of your demons
That's just what makes you
That's just what makes you
That's just what makes you a real thing
