Tailgate Sunrise

[Verse 1] I roll out at dawn down gravel roads Old Ford growls while morning unfolds My hound rides shotgun, tongue hangs free Chasing sunrise and the sweet country breeze [Chorus] Bed of my truck feels more like home With wagging tails and endless roam Coffee hot in a dented tin Freedom’s smile on a muddy grin [Verse 2] Tailgate down, dew on the grass He jumps out quick, first one to pass Fields awake with roosters’ yells And every bark a story tells [Chorus] [Bridge] When city lights start calling names We head back out where wild remains Stars guide us home through open skies Just me, my dog, and early rise [Chorus] [Outro] Tailgate sunrise, life’s simple prize
