Barn Dance Sunset (Version 2)

Verse

Dust on the windowsill where the sun cut through

Your old truck cooling by the pine tree too

You wore your baseball cap back over one eye

Counted every star before you said goodbye

The radio still crackled on a station I don't know

You left me standing on the porch with nothing to show

A faded t-shirt and a promise that was mine

Now you're just a name in my rearview line

Pre-Chorus

I keep driving, one song from turning back around

Do you ever pull over when the sky turns gold again?

Chorus

Barn dance sunset, I'm still dancing on your floor

Hearing that old guitar like it's mine once more

Your boots in my truck bed, dust and county roads

Barn dance sunset and I'm chasing barn dance lights back home

Verse

Five years gone but the porch light still glows

Mailman brought a letter, said you wanted to know

What happened next for a girl who danced with me

I wrote it out slow in black ink and tea

The fiddle still plays that same tired old tune

Now it's me on the stage singing like I do

Your voice is only a memory but it rings loud

Every single summer when the fields turn yellow out

Pre-Chorus

I keep driving, one song from turning back around

Do you ever pull over when the sky turns gold again?

Chorus

Barn dance sunset, I'm still dancing on your floor

Hearing that old guitar like it's mine once more

Your boots in my truck bed, dust and county roads

Barn dance sunset and I'm chasing barn dance lights back home

Bridge

Maybe someday you'll drive down this lane again

We can laugh about the dust and not about when

I'll leave your name by the fence, let the summer decide

Either way, I danced once, that's how a girl survives

Chorus

Barn dance sunset, I'm still dancing on your floor

Hearing that old guitar like it's mine once more

Your boots in my truck bed, dust and county roads

Barn dance sunset and I'm chasing barn dance lights back home
