Backroad Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rust on the fender, sun in the mirror
The dirt road's never felt any clearer
Radio's humming a familiar tune
Chasing the ghost of a summer moon
This old Chevy's got a story to tell
Of a boy who loved a girl so well
[Pre-Chorus]
Windows down, letting in the heat
Tapping my thumb against the seat
Counting the miles till I see your face
The only light in this whole place
[Chorus]
Meet me where the water turns to gold
A story that never gets too old
Underneath the pines by the lake
Every single promise we didn't break
We were just kids with a wilder heart
Thinking we’d tear the whole world apart
But I found my heaven in a small-town view
Parked on the shore right next to you
[Post-Chorus]
Right next to you
In the gold and the blue
Everything we knew
Is still coming true
[Break]
[Verse]
I used to stare at the highway lines
Looking for some kind of cosmic signs
Thought I needed the neon and the noise
Just another one of those restless boys
But the map I drew led back to the start
To the very first beat of my beating heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Dust on the dash, hand on the wheel
Knowing exactly how I feel
Leaving the city smoke far behind
You’re the only thing on my mind
[Chorus]
Meet me where the water turns to gold
A story that never gets too old
Underneath the pines by the lake
Every single promise we didn't break
We were just kids with a wilder heart
Thinking we’d tear the whole world apart
But I found my heaven in a small-town view
Parked on the shore right next to you
[Bridge]
Some folks run till they lose their way
Looking for a brighter kind of day
I found my light in your steady hand
Building a life on this piece of land
No more searching for a distant shore
I don't need to wander anymore
[Chorus]
Meet me where the water turns to gold
A story that never gets too old
Underneath the pines by the lake
Every single promise we didn't break
We were just kids with a wilder heart
Thinking we’d tear the whole world apart
But I found my heaven in a small-town view
Parked on the shore right next to you
[Outro]
