Fue manejando por la noche y pienso en ti 
Y en tantas cosas que no te llegué a decir 
Y la luna desde lejos me acompaña 
Y me trae tantos recuerdos que perdí 

Y en la radio está tocando tu canción 
La que bailamos tantas veces tú y yo 
Y la lluvia cae tan fuerte en mi ventana 
Y se evapora como gotas de tu amor 

Y las luces de los autos brillan como las estrellas 
En el cielo del dolor 
El camino va pasando y yo voy acelerando 
Como quien busca el amor 
Yo te busco, como un loco, dime 

¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
¿Todavía piensas en mí? 
¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
Yo sigo pensando en ti 

Quiero saber si todavía te quedará 
Un poquito de amor por mí 
La carretera se hace larga 
Y yo siento que puedo morir

Voy manejando creo que va a salir el sol 
Que diera yo por estar en tu habitación 
Tu contestador responde mi llamada 
Dejo grabado un mensaje con mi voz 

Y te digo que te extraño 
Que eres tu toda mi vida 
Que me ahogo en el alcohol 
Que no acepto que termine esta historia tan bonita 
Esta historia de los dos 
Que ese tipo que pretende 
Secuestrarme tus caricias no va a ser mejor que yo
No lo dudes, mi amor, dime 

¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
¿Todavía piensas en mí? 
¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
Yo sigo pensando en ti 

Quiero saber si todavía te quedará 
Un poquito de amor por mí 
La carretera se hace larga 
Y yo siento que puedo morir 

Dime 
¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
¿Todavía piensas en mí? Tu dime 
¿Dónde estarás? ¿Dónde estarás? 
Yo sigo pensando en ti 

Quiero saber si todavía te quedará 
Un poquito de amor por mí 
La carretera se hace larga 
Y yo siento que puedo morir
