Sunset Radio

Verse

Dirt road fading into blue

Engine coughing its last goodbye

Radio static, half a song

Windows down where the wind gets by

Cigarette smoke curlin' thin

Chasing miles I'll never win

Gas station sign blinking slow

Somewhere past we used to go

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like flying

When my tires are barely rolling

Is this freedom or just running

Can't tell which, don't know how to stop

Chorus

Sunset radio, cracklin' low

Every station I let go

Hold on tight but I'm already gone

Sunset radio, singing me home

Verse 2

Rust belt sunset paint the sky like fire

Same old highway, different liar's tale

Tailgate down where the cornfields sway

Watching stars come out one by one tonight

Cigarette ember on my palm

Thinking 'bout a name I never wrote down

Engine light flickers like it knows

This is how the wild comes back to town

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like flying

When my tires are barely rolling

Is this freedom or just running

Can't tell which, don't know how to stop

Chorus

Sunset radio, cracklin' low

Every station I let go

Hold on tight but I'm already gone

Sunset radio, singing me home

Bridge

Maybe it's not where I end up

Just the way my chest keeps breaking open

Every mile a door swinging shut

Leaving small town, leaving all of them

Chorus

Sunset radio, cracklin' low

Every station I let go

Hold on tight but I'm already gone

Sunset radio, singing me home
