Dust and Copper Skies (Version 2)

Verse

Porch swing sways like a slow dance in time

Smoke curls up where the old man's been sitting fine

Sun sets pink through the oak tree tall

Cooler's sweating on the rusty wall

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when you're ready, I'll hold your hand

Watch the stars come out across this land

Nothing left to do but turn around

Take a breath and let it get loud

Chorus

Dust and copper skies tonight

Shining bright with every light we ignite

Tailgate dancing on my soul

Dust and copper skies, watch me go

Verse

Cousin's truck's painted up like a work of art

Neon glow where the fireflies are born at heart

Your hand's warm in mine through the cracked-up floor

Nothing here but what we ask for

Bass is low but it feels so high

Every star above lights up your eyes

Pre-Chorus

Tell me when you're ready, I'll hold your hand

Watch the stars come out across this land

Nothing left to do but turn around

Take a breath and let it get loud

Chorus

Dust and copper skies tonight

Shining bright with every light we ignite

Tailgate dancing on my soul

Dust and copper skies, watch me go

Bridge

I won't lose you in the fading light

Every step we take feels just right

This whole town's full of ghosts and gold

But none of them shine like you back home

Keep your eyes open till the stars turn white

We'll ride this sunset 'til the morning light

No clock on the wall, no reason why

Just this long drive down to somewhere high

Chorus

Dust and copper skies tonight

Shining bright with every light we ignite

Tailgate dancing on my soul

Dust and copper skies, watch me go
