Chasing Sunset Gold (versie 2)

Verse

Last summer's tarp still folded in the backseat trunk

Mm, the smell of cut grass on my fingertips still clings

Rode out to the edge of Cedar just before sundown

Dust kicking up like it's counting down the miles

A radio crackled static where the dial meets the night

I kept the volume high and the window rolled down slow

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel that pull before the colors start to fade?

Something in my chest gets loud when day gives way

Chorus

So let's chase sunset gold across this empty county line

Windows down, radio up till the night runs out of time

Nobody's watching who we used to be tonight

Just dust and denim moving with the golden light

Verse 2

Porch swing's creaking soft where the porch light still stays on

Sweat on my forehead, salt from an old forgotten song

A paper cup full of ice water dripping slow by my side

Dust devil dancing like it knows every mile we drive

Pre-Chorus

Do you feel that pull before the colors start to fade?

Something in my chest gets loud when day gives way

Chorus

So let's chase sunset gold across this empty county line

Windows down, radio up till the night runs out of time

Nobody's watching who we used to be tonight

Just dust and denim moving with the golden light

Bridge

Maybe freedom ain't leaving — it's the knowing you stay

Every mile I drive tonight still circles back home in the end

So let's burn this whole county down till the dark turns gold again

I'll ride these country roads all night just to get back here

Chorus

So let's chase sunset gold across this empty county line

Windows down, radio up till the night runs out of time

Nobody's watching who we used to be tonight

Just dust and denim moving with the golden light
