Verse 1
Salt on the rim of a paper cup
Two miles out and the heat climbs up
Cracked asphalt and the engine hums
Tapping on the wheel like steady drums
Barefoot sweet in a cotton dress
Nothing to hide and less to confess
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the rhythm turn
Watching the horizon burn
Chorus
Copper dust and river stone
We were never meant for home
Wild and golden on the run
Caravan heart under the sun
Verse 2
Ripe peach dripping across your wrist
Chasing the warm July through the mist
Lantern tied to the lowest bough
Nobody cares about later now
Pass that wood with the cedar smoke
Singing the tune before it broke
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the rhythm turn
Watching the horizon burn
Chorus
Copper dust and river stone
We were never meant for home
Wild and golden on the run
Caravan heart under the sun
Bridge
Time won't hold what the river takes
Years roll by with the turns it makes
Keep this heat inside your chest
Youth is our only sweet unrest
Chorus
Copper dust and river stone
We were never meant for home
Wild and golden on the run
Caravan heart under the sun
