[Verse 1] Sun sinking low on the county line road, Dust in the air where the tall grass grows, Radio humming through the truck door speakers, Whole town slowing but our hearts beat faster. Got your boots on the dash, hair blowing wild, Laughing at nothing like we did as kids, Old water tower watching over this town, Like it knows we keep coming back around. [Pre-Chorus] We ain't chasing neon city lights tonight, Got a sky full of stars doing just fine. [Chorus] We're burning like a backroad firelight, Young hearts running through a summer night, Windows down and the moon riding shotgun, Singing every word like the song ain't done. Time keeps moving but we don't care where, Just your hand in mine and the night air, If forever's got a feeling, I swear it's right here, Burning like a backroad firelight. [Verse 2] Crickets keeping time by the riverside bend, Talking 'bout forever like we know what it meant, Painted old memories on a tailgate seat, With the sound of our names in the midnight breeze. [Pre-Chorus] No big plans written out in the stars tonight, Just you and me and a feeling that's right. [Chorus] We're burning like a backroad firelight, Young hearts running through a summer night, Windows down and the moon riding shotgun, Singing every word like the song ain't done. Time keeps moving but we don't care where, Just your hand in mine and the night air, If forever's got a feeling, I swear it's right here, Burning like a backroad firelight. [Bridge] Years from now when these roads all change, We'll still hear this echo calling our names, Some things fade and some things fly, But tonight feels like it could outlive time. [Final Chorus] We're burning like a backroad firelight, Hearts still running through a summer night, Windows down and the moon riding shotgun, Still singing loud like the song ain't done, Time keeps moving but we don't care where, Got that small-town magic in the midnight air, If forever's got a feeling, I swear it's right here, Burning like a backroad firelight.
