Chasing Sun Down (version 2)

Intro

Sun on the dashboard window

Feet still moving slow

Verse 1 – female alto with layered group harmonies

Barefoot on the hood of my old car

Radio fading where the highway starts

Engine's warm, but I'm running late

Chasing sun down past the turn in the lane

Every yellow line is a countdown

Empty road and all I need to know is

Pre-Chorus

Where the sky gives way to gold

I'll keep going till it's told

Chorus

We're chasing sun down, down past the trees

Dust on my boots but dancing like this frees

Every mile feels like a heartbeat I own

Chasing sun down where the horizon glows and goes

Down past the water tower, down to the plain

Nothing but the open road and your name in my mind

Verse 2 – female alto with layered group harmonies

Tires humming on asphalt warm as bread

Windows down like a second heartbeat instead of one

Sky's turning pink where the fields turn gold

Every mile I drive feels younger than before, told

Old highway markers counting years gone by

I'm running barefoot till I reach that line in the sky

Pre-Chorus

Where the light starts to fade and rise again

That's the only clock I need right now

Chorus

We're chasing sun down, down past the trees

Dust on my boots but dancing like this frees

Every mile feels like a heartbeat I own

Chasing sun down where the horizon glows and goes

Down past the water tower, down to the plain

Nothing but the open road and your name in my mind

Bridge – female alto, intimate close-mic'd delivery without layered group harmonies

Maybe this is how the heart learns to let go

Not holding on so tight it pulls me slow

Just running till I reach that line of blue

Where the whole sky opens wide and wide for you

Chorus

We're chasing sun down, down past the trees

Dust on my boots but dancing like this frees

Every mile feels like a heartbeat I own

Chasing sun down where the horizon glows and goes

Down past the water tower, down to the plain

Nothing but the open road and your name in my mind
