Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Pulled off on Highway Nine Past the rusted exit sign Gravel dancing under wheels You know how the autumn feels The Neon Rose is boarded tight No more burgers in the night Just a shadow on the hill Where the world is standing still [Pre-Chorus] I used to count the tips With a prayer upon my lips Thinking I could fly away On a warm September day [Chorus] Oh, it was a milkshake summer Sugar on a silver tray We were younger, we were hungrier Chasing every dream away Now the paint is peeling back On the life I used to lack Turns out the girl I used to be Is still the best part of me [Post-Chorus] Yeah, she’s still here In the rearview mirror Soft and clear [Break] [Verse] Remember that blue apron string? I thought it was a heavy thing Tying me to the kitchen floor While I stared at the swinging door You’d pull up in that beat-up Ford Singing chords I couldn't afford Two straws in a chocolate malt Every tear was my own fault [Pre-Chorus] I was looking for a spark In the middle of the dark Never knew the golden light Was right there in my sight [Chorus] Oh, it was a milkshake summer Sugar on a silver tray We were younger, we were hungrier Chasing every dream away Now the paint is peeling back On the life I used to lack Turns out the girl I used to be Is still the best part of me [Bridge] The mandolin is singing sweet Like the dust beneath my feet I thought I needed city lights To fix these quiet starry nights But the silence feels like grace In this old familiar place [Chorus] Oh, it was a milkshake summer Sugar on a silver tray We were younger, we were hungrier Chasing every dream away Now the paint is peeling back On the life I used to lack Turns out the girl I used to be Is still the best part of me [Post-Chorus] It's the long way back On a gravel track Nothing that I lack [Outro]
