Grandma's Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Left the apron on the hook
Didn't give a second look
Sun is peeking through the pines
Past the rusty "Open" signs
Old Ford's coughing in the drive
Feeling lucky to be alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Glove box holds a secret truth
Yellowed ink from grandma's youth
She said there's gold in the desert sky
Too many years have passed me by
[Chorus]
Dust on the dashboard, wind in my hair
Leaving ghosts in the rearview mirror
Chasing a promise across the line
Everything's gonna be just fine
West where the red rocks glow
Where the honey-colored rivers flow
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go, let it roll
Finding pieces of my soul
[Verse]
He's still sleeping in our bed
With all the words we never said
Stagnant water, rusted sink
Didn't even stop to think
Tires humming on the heat
Freedom tastes so bittersweet
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled paper in my hand
Heading for a different land
She wrote about a canyon breeze
That brings a woman to her knees
[Chorus]
Dust on the dashboard, wind in my hair
Leaving ghosts in the rearview mirror
Chasing a promise across the line
Everything's gonna be just fine
West where the red rocks glow
Where the honey-colored rivers flow
[Bridge]
She said "Honey, don't you wait too long"
To find the place where you belong
Break the cycle, find your light
Driving through the fading night
I can feel her in the seat
Making my new life complete
[Solo]
[Verse]
Passed a diner, neon hum
Thinking 'bout where I'm from
Compass points to a brand new day
Washing all the gray away
Desert sunset starts to burn
There is no reason to return
[Chorus]
Dust on the dashboard, wind in my hair
Leaving ghosts in the rearview mirror
Chasing a promise across the line
Everything's gonna be just fine
West where the red rocks glow
Where the honey-colored rivers flow
[Post-Chorus]
Let it go, let it roll
Finding pieces of my soul
Let it go, let it roll
I'm finally in control
[Outro]
