Last Night in July (versión 2)

Verse

Screen door slaps shut behind my backside

Radio's old but it still gets loud

Porch swing creaks where my feet just left off

Sneakers kicked by the screen door too

Last night in July we drove out past the track

Cousins laughing, engine window down

No schedules, no clock to chase this week

Just dirt and diesel smoke and golden crown

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we stay right here on the curb tonight

Nothing left but gravel road and headlights

We don't need tomorrow for everything to make sense

Tonight's ours — it always was, I guess

Chorus

Last night in July, we lit up the whole block in red light

Hands up like we own this summer's last goodbye

Gas tank empty but our hearts are full tonight

So hold me tight and let the crickets sing us home tonight

Verse 2

Your jacket's still on my shoulders now

Same old radio static we love best

Neon sign from that one truck stop diner

Writing numbers in the dust, the past

Someday this porch light won't be burning bright

But right here it's gold — don't you see that clear tonight

So who cares what college says is right?

Tonight we own every star we've ever known

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we stay right here on the curb tonight

Nothing left but gravel road and headlights

We don't need tomorrow for everything to make sense

Tonight's ours — it always was, I guess

Chorus

Last night in July, we lit up the whole block in red light

Hands up like we own this summer's last goodbye

Gas tank empty but our hearts are full tonight

So hold me tight and let the crickets sing us home tonight

Bridge

Someday you'll drive by a street that don't look the same

Every porch light is someone else's name

But this one right here we built — it was ours alone

So don't forget to keep singing like a June night in July

Chorus

Last night in July, we lit up the whole block in red light

Hands up like we own this summer's last goodbye

Gas tank empty but our hearts are full tonight

So hold me tight and let the crickets sing us home tonight
