Gold on the Dashboard 5

Verse

Screen door slamming past nine o'clock

Engine cold but we're still rocking the block

Radio static turns to a song

Window down, night air and salt on our tongue

Headlight glow off the hood of your car

Dancing slow where nobody's watching far

Fireflies blinking like tiny lights

Summer's ours in every passing mile tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your chest?

Something wide open, we don't need rest.

Chorus

Gold on the dashboard, rolling down the line

We're chasing sunrise and leaving time behind

Hands on the wheel, the world's ours right now

Nothing else matters, nothing to slow us down

Verse

Old tire swing spinning round the oak tree

Engine roar and a highway full of me

Shirt off your shoulders catching the glow

Nineteen summers we can't let go

Fireworks fading out in the sky

Counting stars like they're falling by

Nothing to prove, nothing to hide

Just this beat and an open road tonight

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing up through your chest?

Something wide open, we don't need rest.

Chorus

Gold on the dashboard, rolling down the line

We're chasing sunrise and leaving time behind

Hands on the wheel, the world's ours right now

Nothing else matters, nothing to slow us down

Bridge

Someday the engine will stop running still

And we'll be old men watching this sky turn gray

But for one more hour let's drive like we're flying blind

Tonight our names don't matter, it's just gold on the dashboard tonight

Chorus

Gold on the dashboard, rolling down the line

We're chasing sunrise and leaving time behind

Hands on the wheel, the world's ours right now

Nothing else matters, nothing to slow us down
