[Verse 1] There's an old road running past this town, Where the summer sun used to settle down. We'd drive for miles with nowhere to go, Two young hearts and a radio. You said forever like you meant every word, And I believed every promise I heard. Now I pass that place from time to time, And for a moment, you're still mine. [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the years move on, But some things never really leave. You can learn to live without someone, And still remember how to grieve. [Chorus] Somewhere down that old dirt road, There's a piece of us I can't let go. In every field, in every light, I still see you on a Friday night. Life moved on and so did we, But the road remembers you and me. And when the sunset calls my name, I swear my heart goes back again. [Verse 2] I heard you found somebody new, Built a little life you always wanted to. And me, I've learned to stand alone, Made a few strange places feel like home. I don't regret the love we knew, Even if our dreams never all came true. Some people stay, some people leave, Some become a part of everything you see. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love is more than staying, Maybe leaving has its place. 'Cause after all these years between us, I can still remember your face. [Chorus] Somewhere down that old dirt road, There's a piece of us I can't let go. In every field, in every light, I still see you on a Friday night. Life moved on and so did we, But the road remembers you and me. And when the sunset calls my name, I swear my heart goes back again. [Bridge] If I could drive that road once more, Would I stop outside your door? Or would I smile and just drive by, Thank you softly, say goodbye? Maybe some love isn't meant to stay— It's meant to help us find our way. [Final Chorus] Somewhere down that old dirt road, I finally learned to let you go. But every field and every light Still holds a little piece of that life. We've moved on, and now I see What you will always mean to me. When the sunset calls my name, I don't need to go back again. [Outro] That old road still remembers me... And that's enough of you and me.
