V1
She grabbed the keys to his shiny red Corvette and slowly backed it out of the garage
It was a year to the day since he passed away; she nearly died of a broken heart
Woah girl, better slow it down, try to keep it on the road
She felt her stomach churn
You simply can't outrun a broken heart
V2
The stars float above that shiny red Corvette as she headed into parts unknown
Through the state of denial, I swear she almost smiled when she saw the peaks of Colorado
Old memories come crashing down like a Rocky Mountain avalanche
She heard the cold winds moan
You simply can't outrun a broken heart
Bridge
Time doesn't mean a thing, she lets that telephone ring, ring, ring, let it ring
No time for sad goodbyes, all she wants to do is drive, drive, drive, drive
V3
She swerved, barely missed him with that shiny red Corvette; were her eyes playing tricks on her mind
Ghosts in the mirror are closer than they appear, she left him standing on the dotted line
Two miles from freedom on a lonely, washed out road, will she make it to the other side
Will you ever learn
You simply can't outrun a broken heart
V4
Early morning sunlight found that shiny red Corvette perched high above the canyon floor
She mashed the pedal to the floor, she heard that big engine roar, she crashed the fence doing one forty five
Exploding glass, splintered fiberglass, she flew into the great unknown
Was nearly a mile down
I heard they never found her broken heart
Too bad she never learned
You simply can't outrun a broken heart
