Verse
Gravel dust is turning gold
Where the porch light hits the road
Radio's held up by a coat hanger wire
Cricket hum and diesel hum
Sound like where I'm coming from
Sparks jump off the fence like little bits of fire
Your hand's tapping on my knee
Katydids in harmony
Nobody's checking clocks or checking phones
This little patch of Tennessee
Is all the world I need to see
Just you, this truck, and everything we own
Pre-Chorus
So what if the summer's leaving
What if the corn gets cut down low
I'm not letting go of this feeling
No, I'm never letting go
Chorus
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Stars doing cartwheels in your eyes
Cooler's sweating, county line is calling
But we ain't moving, we ain't falling
Out of this, out of this light
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Verse
Mason jar of sweet tea's warm
Doesn't matter, drink it anyway
Your laugh cracks like a shotgun shell
Echoes out across the hay
Somebody's bonfire two fields down
Sending sparks up like a prayer
We don't need a reason, don't need a crowd
Just this dust and this open air
Pre-Chorus
So what if the summer's leaving
What if the corn gets cut down low
I'm not letting go of this feeling
No, I'm never letting go
Chorus
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Stars doing cartwheels in your eyes
Cooler's sweating, county line is calling
But we ain't moving, we ain't falling
Out of this, out of this light
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Bridge
Someday we'll be old and gray
Telling this to kids someday
I'll say remember that July
The night we froze the falling sky
Hold this porch light, hold this song
Hold this feeling, make it long
Chorus
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Stars doing cartwheels in your eyes
Cooler's sweating, county line is calling
But we ain't moving, we ain't falling
Out of this, out of this light
Boots on the tailgate tonight
Outro
Gravel dust and porch light gold
This is one I'm gonna hold
