Dust and Gold 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Porch swing creaking where the old map used to be

Sundown fireflies like tiny lanterns in me

You said keep it on the back of my mind

I didn't know how much time we'd find

Bare feet kicking up a dust storm on the drive

Every street we pass I count down till tonight

Pre-Chorus

Who says you can't turn this kind of day around?

Who puts a calendar on something that's found?

Not me, no not me, so hold on to the view

Cause this is one sunset that I'm going through

I won't look at my watch when stars start to come up

Chorus

We don't need a map if the road just feels right

Dust and gold in our headlights, driving into night

No schedule here, no tomorrow's plan

Just you, just me, just this dusty land

Turn the clock off where the highway bends

Hold on tight till the stars come back again

Verse

Bass line humming low where your shoulder pressed to mine

Neon signs on Main Street, they glow like a shrine

Crickets are singing louder than any radio play

And I swear that's your voice calling out my name

You keep it on repeat and I don't mind the fade

Cause when you say we're not done yet, I believe what you've made

Pre-Chorus

Who says you can't turn this kind of day around?

Who puts a calendar on something that's found?

Not me, no not me, so hold on to the view

Cause this is one sunset that I'm going through

I won't look at my watch when stars start to come up

Chorus

We don't need a map if the road just feels right

Dust and gold in our headlights, driving into night

No schedule here, no tomorrow's plan

Just you, just me, just this dusty land

Turn the clock off where the highway bends

Hold on tight till the stars come back again

Bridge

One more mile before the lights go down

You take my hand up in a spin-around

I let your laughter be the only guide

And I know right here that we won't say goodbye

Chorus

We don't need a map if the road just feels right

Dust and gold in our headlights, driving into night

No schedule here, no tomorrow's plan

Just you, just me, just this dusty land

Turn the clock off where the highway bends

Hold on tight till the stars come back again
