Peaches on the Dashboard 2

Verse 1

Gravel crunch under your boots on the county line

Sunset fading in a whiskey-lit haze of mine

Four of us crammed in the back seat of my old truck

Every mile marker ticking down till we get loose

Cigarette smoke curling off the dash like it owns the sky

Your knee brushes mine and I lose count of how many times I've said goodbye

Pre-Chorus

So what if this summer ends up being just a memory

What if these are the only nights that ever feel free?

We're burning daylight, but the sun is setting on the highway

Can we hold onto something left to say?

Chorus

It's peaches on the dashboard where our fingers find each other tonight

Neon flicker in your eyes, and I don't want this feeling to quit

Every mile that melts away leaves us younger than before

I'm chasing down a lifetime with you in the backseat, more and more

Verse 2

Two-a-clock radio playing out all our names

A million mosquitoes but nobody's complaining

Old wooden sign creaking in the headlights' beam

We've got the whole world behind us, and this road is our dream

You're singing along to the same three songs we always play

Every mile marker ticking down till we hit a brand new day

Pre-Chorus

So what if this summer ends up being just a memory

What if these are the only nights that ever feel free?

We're burning daylight, but the sun is setting on the highway

Can we hold onto something left to say?

Chorus

It's peaches on the dashboard where our fingers find each other tonight

Neon flicker in your eyes, and I don't want this feeling to quit

Every mile that melts away leaves us younger than before

I'm chasing down a lifetime with you in the backseat, more and more

Bridge

Maybe the only thing we can hold onto is the night itself

The way these headlights stretch long and wide across your skin like gold

I don't know what tomorrow looks like or if we'll ever make it home

But for tonight, I'm just glad you're sitting here with me, alone

Chorus

It's peaches on the dashboard where our fingers find each other tonight

Neon flicker in your eyes, and I don't want this feeling to quit

Every mile that melts away leaves us younger than before

I'm chasing down a lifetime with you in the backseat, more and more
