Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Coffee's getting cold out here Stars are starting to appear Cracked a drawer in the hall Found that picture on the wall Polaroid of us in the sun Back when we were twenty-one Grease on your face and a grin Where do I even begin? [Pre-Chorus] The engine wouldn't turn at all Waiting for the summer rain to fall We had nothing but time And a couple of nickels and a dime [Chorus] Oh, the rust was turning into gold Stories that we never told Just two kids under the hood Doing the best that we could Now you’re three thousand miles away But I’m sitting on the porch today And I’m thankful for the quiet Yeah, I’m thankful for the quiet [Verse] That old Chevy was a wreck Sweat dripping down your neck Wrenching on the manifold Trying to do what we were told Radio playing something slow Nowhere left for us to go Just the driveway and the trees And the cooling evening breeze [Pre-Chorus] The headlights finally flickered on Right before the breaking of the dawn We felt like we could fly Underneath that heavy July sky [Chorus] Oh, the rust was turning into gold Stories that we never told Just two kids under the hood Doing the best that we could Now you’re three thousand miles away But I’m sitting on the porch today And I’m thankful for the quiet Yeah, I’m thankful for the quiet [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if you see The same moon that’s watching me Across the plains and the pines Between the borders and the lines I found the keys in the tray They still look the same way Heavy and cold in my hand Like a map of a promised land [Chorus] Oh, the rust was turning into gold Stories that we never told Just two kids under the hood Doing the best that we could Now you’re three thousand miles away But I’m sitting on the porch today And I’m thankful for the quiet Yeah, I’m thankful for the quiet [Outro]
