Rearview Halo (Version 2)

Verse

Pump gas at the same old station

Pay with cash, they know my name

Sixty-five and counting stations

Same song skipping on the frame

License plate says 2003

Headlight dimmer than a beacon

Tire's worn in the tread just fine

Still keeps me moving in one piece

Pre-Chorus

So what do you call that glow behind

A window left ajar at night?

Is it headlights or is it something

That I've been keeping out of sight

Chorus

Rearview halo, fading gold

Every mile's got its own way back home

I'm still learning how to hold on tight

To the light before the dark arrives tonight

Verse 2

Truck stop diner, booth number one

Ninety-nine cents for a coffee cup half full

Someone's dog is crying in the corner

But I don't mind it — that's my only rule

Highway patrol pulls me over slow

Flashlight catches something old

Rearview mirror still got your face

Faded soft like smoke and glass

Pre-Chorus

So what do you call that glow behind

A window left ajar at night?

Is it headlights or is it something

That I've been keeping out of sight

Chorus

Rearview halo, fading gold

Every mile's got its own way back home

I'm still learning how to hold on tight

To the light before the dark arrives tonight

Bridge

Maybe some things burn too bright

Maybe we don't need it lit

Maybe letting go is just the start

Of a whole new color for your heart

Chorus

Rearview halo, fading gold

Every mile's got its own way back home

I'm still learning how to hold on tight

To the light before the dark arrives tonight
