Verse
Truck bed rattling down a gravel line
Sun's throwing gold on the fence post signs
Radio crackling, static and steel
Got my hand out the window just to feel
Screen door slamming, porch light hum
Friday's calling like a beating drum
Kicked my shoes off, grabbed my hat
Ain't no bringing this heart back
Pre-Chorus
So what's it gonna take
To light this whole town up
Can you feel that heartbeat
Building up, building up
Chorus
There's dust on my boots tonight
Spinning under string-light skies
Gravel road and a fiddle cry
There's dust on my boots tonight
Free as the wind, don't ask me why
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive tonight
Verse
Bonfire sparking orange in the dark
Tailgates lined up like a parking lot of hearts
Cricket song and a stomping beat
Barefoot dancing on the concrete street
Stars are scattered like a spilled-out jar
Nobody's checking how far is too far
Corn fields swaying, whispering low
Tonight I'm chasing where the feeling goes
Pre-Chorus
So what's it gonna take
To light this whole town up
Can you feel that heartbeat
Building up, building up
Chorus
There's dust on my boots tonight
Spinning under string-light skies
Gravel road and a fiddle cry
There's dust on my boots tonight
Free as the wind, don't ask me why
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive tonight
Bridge
Tomorrow's got worries, let 'em wait outside
Tonight's just this fire and the county line
No clock, no ceiling, just the wide-open air
Grab my hand, darlin', let's get lost right there
Chorus
There's dust on my boots tonight
Spinning under string-light skies
Gravel road and a fiddle cry
There's dust on my boots tonight
Free as the wind, don't ask me why
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive tonight
