Gravel Road Grace (Version 2)

Verse

Dust kicks up behind your tailgate tires

Windows down, engine ticking, evening fires

Cicadas humming that same three-note song

You said hop in, I said don't mind if I do

Ditch weeds bowing like they already knew

Something here was about to turn me on

Pre-Chorus

Now the sky's turning peach and gold

And my heart's doing things I can't control

Is it the heat or is it you

Making my whole world brand new

Chorus

I'm falling like the sun behind the tree line

Slow and easy, catching all this light

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, dust turned bright

You said my name like a hymn you'd been savin'

Now I'm a believer, caught up in your smile

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, mile after mile

Verse

Radio static, you find the station

Sing off-key with no hesitation

I laugh so hard I forget to breathe

Your hand taps rhythm on the steering wheel

Something honest, something plain, something real

Simple as the way the willows lean

Pre-Chorus

Now the sky's turning peach and gold

And my heart's doing things I can't control

Is it the heat or is it you

Making my whole world brand new

Chorus

I'm falling like the sun behind the tree line

Slow and easy, catching all this light

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, dust turned bright

You said my name like a hymn you'd been savin'

Now I'm a believer, caught up in your smile

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, mile after mile

Bridge

Maybe love ain't lightning, quick and loud

Maybe it's just dust rising off a crowd

Of memories we're making one mile at a time

Maybe grace was always right outside my door

Waiting on a road I'd driven past before

Until you pulled up beside me, and it all made sense this time

Chorus

I'm falling like the sun behind the tree line

Slow and easy, catching all this light

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, dust turned bright

You said my name like a hymn you'd been savin'

Now I'm a believer, caught up in your smile

Found it on a gravel road in Juneshine

Gravel road grace, mile after mile

Outro

Mile after mile, gravel road grace

Mile after mile, I found my place

Right here beside you, dust turned bright

Gravel road grace, my whole life
