Til The Neon Burns (версия 2)

Verse

Truck bed light flickering like it's trying to stay on

Radio static soft where the signal died

Faded map folded up in my jeans pocket

Gas station coffee sweeter for running low

One last shot left before the morning breaks

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much longer we've got tonight

Tell me why this old car won't give up on us yet

I can see it fading past the guardrail lights

Hold tight now, let the whole road turn to dust

Til the neon burns and we run out of gas

Chorus

We're driving slow where the highway ends

Gas light flickering, nobody's friend with the sun

One more county line before this engine breaks

Ride these headlights till the dark starts chasing us back

Hold my hand tight on the dashboard floor

Nothing left to lose so we drive it some more

Verse

Tailpipe coughing out a single spark

Someone's porch light flickers then goes black

Diner parking lot still humming in our ears

Empty cup and a map of what we were afraid of

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how much longer we've got tonight

Tell me why this old car won't give up on us yet

I can see it fading past the guardrail lights

Hold tight now, let the whole road turn to dust

Til the neon burns and we run out of gas

Chorus

We're driving slow where the highway ends

Gas light flickering, nobody's friend with the sun

One more county line before this engine breaks

Ride these headlights till the dark starts chasing us back

Hold my hand tight on the dashboard floor

Nothing left to lose so we drive it some more

Bridge

Maybe the whole town was just a rumor all along

Maybe the road's the only truth I still know how to hold on to

I don't care who built this, I don't care whose name's on the sign

Just keep me moving till that sun comes up again

Til the neon burns and we run out of gas

Chorus

We're driving slow where the highway ends

Gas light flickering, nobody's friend with the sun

One more county line before this engine breaks

Ride these headlights till the dark starts chasing us back

Hold my hand tight on the dashboard floor

Nothing left to lose so we drive it some more
