Copper Skies on Willow Creek（版本 2）

Verse

Coffee cup cold on the hood of my truck

Washed it out with a hose and some mud

Twelve years old, knees scratched from climbing through the willows

Swimming in this creek like I don't know what trouble is

Pre-Chorus

That summer felt endless, every night was free

Screen door slamming, you're calling me

Out past the barn where the fence wire hums low

We thought we owned this place — it was ours to know

Chorus

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight

Your hand in my pocket, we don't run from the light

Dirt road glow and a whole summer's mine

Nothing here will ever cross that line

Just you and me in those headlights, wide open sky

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight

Verse

You kept your baseball cap low over one eye

Said my momma'd kill us both if she saw the way we'd lie

Cut a hole through the ice and let the water slide past my knees

Never thought once that this feeling wouldn't stay — that it had an end date, you see

Pre-Chorus

That summer felt endless, every night was free

Screen door slamming, you're calling me

Out past the barn where the fence wire hums low

We thought we owned this place — it was ours to know

Chorus

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight

Your hand in my pocket, we don't run from the light

Dirt road glow and a whole summer's mine

Nothing here will ever cross that line

Just you and me in those headlights, wide open sky

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight

Bridge

Years went by like water through the wire

Your momma moved, I stayed behind, on fire

Bought this old truck, still drive it slow past your gate

Some things stay gold even when they're too late

I'm older now but the ache stays the same

Still running down that dirt road calling out your name

Chorus

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight

Your hand in my pocket, we don't run from the light

Dirt road glow and a whole summer's mine

Nothing here will ever cross that line

Just you and me in those headlights, wide open sky

Copper skies on Willow Creek tonight
