V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1]
Rolled in late through the blacktop rains
Cold wind cuttin’ across Montana plains
Main Street’s ghosted, Texaco glows
Flickerin’ red where the north wind blows
And there you were, whiskey eyes on fire
Smoke curlin’ up like a damned funeral pyre
Hair a little shorter, that same wild smile
Your boy with your mama, just for a while
[Chorus]
Neon in the dust, and the way we were
Backseat heat and a whispered word
From prom night fights to a midnight kiss
Some things fade, but not like this
One night to burn ‘fore the winter comes
Under neon in the dust, we come undone
[Verse 2]
You laughed, “That old truck still runs?”
I said, “She may be beat, but don't you remember all that ole fun”
We danced slow, boots across the floor
Thunder rolled somewhere beyond the door
You told me your scars, I told you mine
Talked about the years that slipped through time
Your ring was gone, left it all in the past
Funny how forever never seems to last
[Chorus]
Neon in the dust, and the way we were
Backseat heat and a whispered word
From prom night fights to a midnight kiss
Some things fade, but not like this
One night to burn ‘fore the winter comes
Under neon in the dust, we come undone
[Bridge]
Remember prom night, that summer heat?
One wrong word, two fists, concrete
We walked away like the story was done
Never knowing we’d circle back someday
Now winter’s ridin’ hard across the plains
Snow on the windshield, ice in the veins
Time don’t heal, it just hides the scars
Till neon brings you back to where you are
[Final Chorus]
Neon in the dust, and the way we were
Backseat heat and a whispered word
From prom night fights to a midnight kiss
Some things fade, but not like this
One night to burn while the cold winds spin
Under neon in the dust, let the old flame in
[Outro]
Montana moon, my hands on the wheel
Old truck groanin’ like it knows how I feel
Dust on the hood, winter in the air
You’re beside me now, and I’m already scared
Neon fades as the morning comes
Two old hearts, still beating as one
