V4.5-ALL

[Intro]
Gravel on my shoes
Dust on my heart
Moon over the houses
Glow in the dark (yeah)

[Verse 1] [male vocals]
Mama said “baby, don’t chase that high”
But I’m still riding past where we said goodbye
Rust-red truck and your hand on mine
We were too young, too dumb, out of time
[Female vocals]
Fast talk, back seat, you were laughing loud
I was praying that my pride wouldn’t let me down
Now I’m ten toes deep on this cracked-up ground
Still hearing every word like you here right now (yeah)

[Chorus]
Moonlight on the backroad, shining in my eyes
I keep driving through the memories, every single mile
You’re the ache in my chest, you’re the ache in my smile
I lose you, I find you, I lose you each time
Moonlight on the backroad, burnin’ through my mind

[Verse 2] [female vocals]
I was that girl with the torn-up jeans
Hood dreams stitched in the county seams
You were too sweet for the mess I bring
Still you swore you’d buy me that little ring
[Male vocals]
Now I rap these fears like a prayer on beat
Heart hit heavy, but my flow stay free
If I make it out, will you still know me?
Or just hear my name where the ghosts all meet? (oh)

[Bridge]
[Male vocal joins, low and rough]
Said if you ever get gone, I’ll wait right here
On the porch by the ditch, with a folding chair
She been long gone, but I still don’t care
Got her name in my throat like a country prayer

[Female over him, soft and quick]
If you still sit there when the dawn come up
I’ll swing that door, let you call my bluff
We were too messed up, but it still felt just
Like the wrong kind of pain that I almost trust (yeah)
