Vinyl Booths and Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Parking lot is cracked and gray
Sun is burning low today
Screen door creaks a hollow sound
Dusty floors and hallowed ground
I see your shadow by the door
Like we were seventeen once more
[Pre-Chorus]
The jukebox plays a static song
Where do all the years belong?
I’m tracing names carved in the wood
I’d stay forever if I could
[Chorus]
Oh, the sweet tea is turning cold
Stories that we never told
In this town of fading light
Everything feels almost right
Just a ghost in a denim jacket
Living in the memory’s racket
Yeah, I’m home tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Home tonight
In the golden light
Yeah, it’s alright
Home tonight
[Verse]
Found that photo in my drawer
Crumpled edges on the floor
You were laughing at the rain
Driving down the gravel lane
Now the fields are overgrown
Seeds of secrets we had sown
[Pre-Chorus]
The interstate is calling loud
High above a lonely cloud
But I’m stuck here in the past
Wondering how long it will last
[Chorus]
Oh, the sweet tea is turning cold
Stories that we never told
In this town of fading light
Everything feels almost right
Just a ghost in a denim jacket
Living in the memory’s racket
Yeah, I’m home tonight
[Bridge]
Viola weeps a low refrain
Washing out the old-time pain
The mouth organ starts to blow
Things I didn't want to know
Closure comes in shades of gold
Watching all the truth unfold
[Solo]
[Build-up]
Two-lane road is calling me
Past the ghost of who we used to be
One last look at the neon sign
Leaving all the hurt behind
[Chorus]
Oh, the sweet tea is turning cold
Stories that we never told
In this town of fading light
Everything feels almost right
Just a ghost in a denim jacket
Living in the memory’s racket
Yeah, I’m home tonight
[Post-Chorus]
Home tonight
In the golden light
Yeah, it’s alright
Just home tonight
[Outro]
