Hands Up Till Sundown (versione 2)

Verse

Gravel road and a bent up fender

Radio hanging on to one station

Cutoff jeans and a porch light ember

Screen door slam like a starting gun

Sixteen cups on the tailgate table

Lightning bugs doing cartwheels through the yard

We got nowhere else we're able

And nothing but time in our two front pockets

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we lose the clock

Let the gravel dust settle where we stop

Can you feel it building like a summer storm

Rising up till we can't hold on

Chorus

Hands up till sundown, boots kicking up the sand

Hearts loud as the thunder, sweat and gasoline hands

We're a bonfire burning slow, we're the last light in this town

Young and running wild, hands up till sundown

Verse

Cannonball off the old rope swing

Water so cold it steals your breathing

Peach juice dripping down your chin

Truck bed full of cousins and secrets

Count the stars before the fireflies find us

Somebody's brother strumming three chords wrong

We don't care if it's a little bit clumsy

Long as the night keeps rolling along

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we lose the clock

Let the gravel dust settle where we stop

Can you feel it building like a summer storm

Rising up till we can't hold on

Chorus

Hands up till sundown, boots kicking up the sand

Hearts loud as the thunder, sweat and gasoline hands

We're a bonfire burning slow, we're the last light in this town

Young and running wild, hands up till sundown

Bridge

Someday we'll be gone from here

Chasing something further down the road

But tonight the whole sky's ours to keep

Every ember, every stone we throw

So hold this porch light, hold this song

Hold my hand till the crickets sing us home

Chorus

Hands up till sundown, boots kicking up the sand

Hearts loud as the thunder, sweat and gasoline hands

We're a bonfire burning slow, we're the last light in this town

Young and running wild, hands up till sundown

Hands up till sundown
