Morgan Evans is looking ahead to a fresh start after his divorce. The country singer-songwriter paid tribute to new beginnings with āOn My Own Again,ā his latest anthem to release on Friday (March 17).
The lyrics see Evans, 37, loading up his truck and driving away, taking only memories of his ex while leaving everything back at āthat house,ā presumably that they shared as a married couple. He ponders, ātomorrow when she wakes up, I wonder if sheāll miss me/ This time I aināt hanginā āround to find out.ā Evans pledges to continue to drive forward, getting started with the rest of his life āif foreverās gonna end like that.ā
Though Evansā lyrics acknowledge feelings of loneliness, āOn My Own Againā looks ahead to whatās next for him. In an Instagram caption on Friday morning, Evans spotlighted a line in the song: āLong as the windshield is bigger than the rearview mirror.ā
āIām gonna drive until the wheels fall of this old truck in my heart/Ā If foreverās gonna end like that, I guess Iād better start/Ā The rest of my life, like the best timeās up around the bend/Ā Oh, on my own againā
āOn My Own Againā is the latest post-divorce song Evans has released since āOver For You,ā a heartache ballad that he released after splitting up with ex-wife Kelsea Ballerini. The couple announced in August 2022 that they were parting ways after nearly five years of marriage. Evans has since premiered a five-part docuseries focused on his return to Australia and his powerful performance of āOver For Youā at the CMC Rocks QLD Festival.
āI wrote this song in November last year ā the chorus, at least ā and it just felt like the first moment that I stopped looking in the past and really started looking toward the future,ā Evans said in a video he shared to Instagram on Friday. āI hope this puts a smile on your face today, and hope you find a way to listen. I would actually recommend listening to this song driving in your car, heading somewhere. Thatās kind of what it feels like to me.ā
