Gold Dust Trail

Verse

Salt and sand still burning my heels

Sneakers in the boot of the wheels

Radio static turns into rain

Barefoot on the dashboard again

Fourteen years since we learned to drive

Counting every mile we thrive

Map folded up between us now

Same old station, louder somehow

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where the sunset ends

Tell me when this golden glow bends

We're running out of road tonight

But we'll chase it till it turns to light

Chorus

Gold dust trail behind our tires

Golden hour on a summer sky

Every mile looks like goodbye

We follow that gold all night

Verse 2

Sneakers by the door, half undone

Your mom's scarf blowing in the wind

We stole a bottle of champagne from somewhere we shouldn't have gone

Laughing loud enough to wake up the whole town

Nineteen now and we're driving slow

Windows down where every sunset glows

Still singing that one song out loud

Same four chords like they always should

Pre-Chorus

So tell me where the sunset ends

Tell me when this golden glow bends

We're running out of road tonight

But we'll chase it till it turns to light

Chorus

Gold dust trail behind our tires

Golden hour on a summer sky

Every mile looks like goodbye

We follow that gold all night

Bridge

Maybe someday we won't be driving north

Maybe this is all the freedom's worth

But for now the gaslight is still warm

And I'll drive you as far as I can go

Chorus

Gold dust trail behind our tires

Golden hour on a summer sky

Every mile looks like goodbye

We follow that gold all night
