Tailgate Sun (Version 2)

Intro

Verse

Tailgate's down by the firelight

Bottle in my hand and you're out of sight

You stepped off into a golden glow

Ain't seen no spark like that in a long time

The gravel's warm beneath these bare feet

Every step away just makes me wanna meet

Your shadow dancing where the light is thin

I'm chasing after, trying to catch what we've been

Pre-Chorus

Now I hear your laughter across the yard

Tell me girl are you coming back to this spark?

Chorus

You left me breathless with a sunset smile

Tailgate sunset, I'll chase that for a while

Every mile marker says you're not done yet

I'll be right here when the stars come up and set

Verse

Your jacket's flung over a pine tree branch

That's where my heart landed like it had a plan

The fire's dying down to embers bright

You said you'd be back before sunrise tonight

Now I'm sitting here with nothing but this song

Wishing on that spark, hoping it'll carry us along

Pre-Chorus

Now I hear your laughter across the yard

Tell me girl are you coming back to this spark?

Chorus

You left me breathless with a sunset smile

Tailgate sunset, I'll chase that for a while

Every mile marker says you're not done yet

I'll be right here when the stars come up and set

Bridge

Maybe this whole night was just a single frame

Maybe it's the start of something wild and tame

You said goodbye but left your scarf behind

Now I'm holding on to that like it's our sign

Chorus

You left me breathless with a sunset smile

Tailgate sunset, I'll chase that for a while

Every mile marker says you're not done yet

I'll be right here when the stars come up and set
