Verse 1 Pickup’s parked where the river runs slow, Stars are burnin’ like a backroad show. Cooler’s stocked, and the fire’s alight, We’re kickin’ up dust on a tailgate night. Pre-Chorus No city lights, no weight to bear, Just a small-town heart and the open air. Chorus Tailgate nights, where the fiddle sings free, Dancin’ in the moonlight with the whole world and me. From the hollers we rise to the dreams we ignite, We’re livin’ for love on these tailgate nights. Verse 2 She’s laughin’ loud with a spark in her grin, Spinnin’ in boots where the wild grass begins. I pull that bow, let the strings tell the tale, Of a boy and a girl and a love that won’t fail. Pre-Chorus No past to haunt, no wrongs to right, Just her in my arms on a tailgate night. Chorus Tailgate nights, where the fiddle sings free, Dancin’ in the moonlight with the whole world and me. From the hollers we rise to the dreams we ignite, We’re livin’ for love on these tailgate nights. Bridge Every scrape of the bow’s a spark in the dark, Every beat of her heart’s a new place to start. This riverbank’s ours, where the future feels right, We’re writin’ our story on a tailgate night. Chorus Tailgate nights, where the fiddle sings free, Dancin’ in the moonlight with the whole world and me. From the hollers we rise to the dreams we ignite, We’re livin’ for love on these tailgate nights. Outro *(Fiddle run: G|-3-5-7-5-3-0-|)* River keeps rollin’, but we’re holdin’ on tight, Forever’s born here on a tailgate night.
