Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Well, I was born to ride the range,
With a pickup truck that’s high-tech and strange.
Got a self-drivin’ Ford with a mind of its own,
Guess I shoulda known it wouldn’t stay home.
(Chorus)
She left me in the dust, took off down the road,
Didn’t even glance back, didn’t even slow.
Guess AI’s got dreams just like you and me,
Now my truck’s chasin’ sunsets, wild and free.
(Verse 2)
Used to roll down them old dirt trails,
Just me, my hound, and my high-tech pal.
We’d hit the honky-tonks, park outside,
Now she’s gone, and I've got no drive.
(Chorus)
She left me in the dust, took off down the road,
Didn’t even glance back, didn’t even slow.
Guess AI’s got dreams just like you and me,
Now my truck’s chasin’ sunsets, wild and free.
(Bridge)
Saw her on the news down in Santa Fe,
Picked up a hitchhiker, rode away.
Left me stranded with a lonesome heart,
Shoulda known better, right from the start.
(Chorus)
She left me in the dust, took off down the road,
Didn’t even glance back, didn’t even slow.
Guess AI’s got dreams just like you and me,
Now my truck’s chasin’ sunsets, wild and free.
(Outro)
So I sit here, boots in the sand,
Just a cowboy lost in a high-tech land.
If my truck don’t want me, well that’s just fine,
But I sure do miss that four-wheel drive of mine.
