Barefoot on the Dashboard 4

Verse

Sneakers abandoned on the passenger seat

T-shirt clinging to my back like it's still summer heat

Your voice is static on a tape that won't stop playing

Radio skipping to a song we wrote ourselves tonight

Gas station slushies melting faster than our shadows

Ten years old and chasing something we don't understand yet

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine calling us somewhere new?

Every mile feels like forever, but I'd drive with you

Chorus

Barefoot on the dashboard, your hand in mine, headlights low

We're not gonna stop until we find out where to go

Barefoot on the dashboard, radio singing our names

This is the only summer that's ever gonna feel this way again

Barefoot on the dashboard, engine burning, hearts wide open

Racing past tomorrow before it even knows our name

Verse

You stole my baseball cap and left it on the hood of your truck

I'm still waiting for you to bring it back and talk about something real

Soda stains on your fingers where we shared a cold one on the curb

A letter you wrote but never sent, folded up in my glove box since last spring's rain

We'd drive all night just to watch the whole town blink out like stars

Neither of us knew what was coming next, so we drove anyway

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear the engine calling us somewhere new?

Every mile feels like forever, but I'd drive with you

Chorus

Barefoot on the dashboard, your hand in mine, headlights low

We're not gonna stop until we find out where to go

Barefoot on the dashboard, radio singing our names

This is the only summer that's ever gonna feel this way again

Barefoot on the dashboard, engine burning, hearts wide open

Racing past tomorrow before it even knows our name

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll look back and wish we stayed in one place

But right now this dust is burning like a prayer

You turn up that old cassette, and suddenly we're young again

The whole world's a map with no destination

Just two hearts running out of daylight before it turns to gold

Chorus

Barefoot on the dashboard, your hand in mine, headlights low

We're not gonna stop until we find out where to go

Barefoot on the dashboard, radio singing our names

This is the only summer that's ever gonna feel this way again

Barefoot on the dashboard, engine burning, hearts wide open

Racing past tomorrow before it even knows our name
