Verse 1
Dad said we'll drive till we run out of sun
Pop had a map folded up in his cup
We took the country road that winds through the trees
He said one day this will be our family
Fistful of change, windows down, and we're free
Laughing at nothing 'cause we can't be stopped
Pre-Chorus
Feel the engine pulling us closer to the sky
The wind is talking something we don't know why
We're learning how to stay awake for a hundred miles
Before you start crying when the stars come out in threes
Chorus
Dial it up and ride, dial it up and ride
Hold my hand through every sunrise
Every sunset painted on the dashboard glass
Dial it up and ride, never losing the past
Verse 2
Grandma's recipe for lemonade in a cooler on ice
Ain't no map that can tell us where to put our pride
He pulled over at a diner with a neon sign that glowed
We ate burgers watching cowboys ride their horses low
He said every mile is something we get to call our own
I don't remember how the stars came home
Pre-Chorus
Feel the engine pulling us closer to the sky
The wind is talking something we don't know why
We're learning how to stay awake for a hundred miles
Before you start crying when the stars come out in threes
Chorus
Dial it up and ride, dial it up and ride
Hold my hand through every sunrise
Every sunset painted on the dashboard glass
Dial it up and ride, never losing the past
Bridge
He pulled over at a field with wildflowers blooming high
I turned around and he was crying 'cause we got there by and by
We sat in silence watching the wind turn the wheat to gold
In that one moment I knew this road would be our story told
Chorus
Dial it up and ride, dial it up and ride
Hold my hand through every sunrise
Every sunset painted on the dashboard glass
Dial it up and ride, never losing the past
