Rustbelt Cinderella 2（版本 2）

Verse

Four years at the machine, one night to be free

Sweat on my collarbone where I let it go with me

Bottle of Dr Pepper, engine ticking slow

We traded shifts for a mile down by the show

Dust on your cheekbone like a painter's brush

Your laugh cuts through static on the radio crush

I know we're just rusted steel and worn-out pride

But out here in the dark with you, I'd ride until sunrise

Pre-Chorus

Hold still for one more minute of this blue sky light

Let it catch your face before the engine starts tonight

Every mile on this highway is a ghost I left behind

How much longer till we leave this town behind?

Chorus

Rustbelt Cinderella, rolling out into gold

Fenders rusted where my heart used to be told

We're chasing sunsets like they owed us back our youth

I'm gonna drive you home through the dark of a thousand moons

Verse 2

Your father's factory closing down the block again

You said we'd take this town's last good year and make it real

We swapped your brother's ol' truck for the keys to your heart

Now here comes midnight in my rearview, tearing us apart

I know that rust don't come off easy as a grin

But I'm gonna wear these dings like medals from every kiss we win

You said I was a pretty sunset to a whole town of grey

So here's to running out before the dawn starts chasing us away

Pre-Chorus

Hold still for one more minute of this blue sky light

Let it catch your face before the engine starts tonight

Every mile on this highway is a ghost I left behind

How much longer till we leave this town behind?

Chorus

Rustbelt Cinderella, rolling out into gold

Fenders rusted where my heart used to be told

We're chasing sunsets like they owed us back our youth

I'm gonna drive you home through the dark of a thousand moons

Bridge

Not every sunset ends with a whole story left untold

Some just keep burning in your chest till the last star turns cold

So I'll drive slow for this one, let the fading light catch your eye

You may be from a town that's losing its way, but tonight we can fly

Chorus

Rustbelt Cinderella, rolling out into gold

Fenders rusted where my heart used to be told

We're chasing sunsets like they owed us back our youth

I'm gonna drive you home through the dark of a thousand moons
