Verse
Dust under my heel
Barefoot where the gravel feels
Radio's still playing low
Sunlight in the open road
Creek bed running soft and wide
Ribbon of the dawn inside
Pre-Chorus
So tell me is this a goodbye
Tell me or don't tell me why
The engine wants to keep on rolling
But I think it wants to stop at this spot
Chorus
Dawn to dust in one long sigh
Watch the hills run purple high
We said we'd chase the golden light
Now I'm not sure if you're leaving tonight
Dust is rising like a ghost
You were born right here where we crossed
I'll catch your shadow on the ground
And we'll run until the sun goes down
Verse
Your boots gone from the driver's side
Smoke in the cup holder inside
The engine's humming a sweet song
But you just sat there, holding me long
Said this road doesn't lead nowhere
Said I'm already where I need to be
And I wonder if it's true
Pre-Chorus
So tell me is this a goodbye
Tell me or don't tell me why
The engine wants to keep on rolling
But I think it wants to stop at this spot
Chorus
Dawn to dust in one long sigh
Watch the hills run purple high
We said we'd chase the golden light
Now I'm not sure if you're leaving tonight
Dust is rising like a ghost
You were born right here where we crossed
I'll catch your shadow on the ground
And we'll run until the sun goes down
Bridge
Maybe this was never about the miles
Maybe this was just the way it feels
Your hand still warm in mine
Gravel soft beneath our feet
So let's keep running till the dust settles slow
Let's chase that sunrise we were chasing long ago
Chorus
Dawn to dust in one long sigh
Watch the hills run purple high
We said we'd chase the golden light
Now I'm not sure if you're leaving tonight
Dust is rising like a ghost
You were born right here where we crossed
I'll catch your shadow on the ground
And we'll run until the sun goes down
Outro
Dawn to dust in one long sigh
Gravel soft beneath our feet
