Dust & Dirt

Verse

Screen door slats cut through the yellow light

Radio hums soft on a lazy summer night

You're twenty years old and you don't know me

Just a voice on the phone, easy to see

Rust belt rhythm playing in my chest

Every mile marker counting every test

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's it gonna take to make you mine

Is it the open road or is it the shine?

Chorus

Dust and dirt beneath our tires tonight

Barefoot, baby, running out of time

Cause I'm holding onto something so right

Every little spark turns into a fire tonight

So keep that engine purring, don't let go of my hand

We're dancing in the headlights, chasing every sunset plan

Verse

You left your jacket folded on the tailgate seat

Two bottles empty where the gravel meets

Forever's written on the dashboard dew

Your laugh cuts through to me like a song I knew

I'm folding up this map, throwing it away

Don't need no GPS when the sky says stay

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what's it gonna take to make you mine

Is it the open road or is it the shine?

Chorus

Dust and dirt beneath our tires tonight

Barefoot, baby, running out of time

Cause I'm holding onto something so right

Every little spark turns into a fire tonight

So keep that engine purring, don't let go of my hand

We're dancing in the headlights, chasing every sunset plan

Bridge

Maybe forever looks like this

A broken tail light and a kiss

No promises, just your hand on mine

This is exactly where I want to be tonight

No more roads, no more names to claim

Just you and me, just the engine's hum and flame

Chorus

Dust and dirt beneath our tires tonight

Barefoot, baby, running out of time

Cause I'm holding onto something so right

Every little spark turns into a fire tonight

So keep that engine purring, don't let go of my hand

We're dancing in the headlights, chasing every sunset plan

Outro

Dust and dirt beneath our tires tonight

Hold on to this, baby, hold on tight
