[Verse 1] Found your sweatshirt underneath my seat, Next to a receipt from somewhere sweet. Held it a second, then I drove back home, Left it on your porch, didn’t touch my phone. Stopped for coffee at the county line, She asked about you, I said, “Doing fine.” Then my favorite song came on the radio, For the first time, I let the whole thing go. [Pre-Chorus] I missed my turn, kept driving straight, Had nowhere to be, no reason to wait. [Chorus] Windows down, turn it up, Let the summer shake the dust. I’ve got a full tank, half a plan, And the wheel back in my hands. Took the long way out of town, Sang so loud I drowned you out. At the red light, caught myself Smiling like I used to— Windows down. [Verse 2] Called up a friend I hadn’t seen in months, She said, “Come over, girl, it’s been too long.” We burned the dinner talking on the steps, Laughed about a night we both forget. I used to leave before the evening rain, You’d call and ask when I’d be home again. This time I stayed till the sky turned blue, Funny how the hours fly without you. [Pre-Chorus] No big speech, no brand-new start, Just a little more room inside my heart. [Chorus] Windows down, turn it up, Let the summer shake the dust. I’ve got a full tank, half a plan, And the wheel back in my hands. Took the long way out of town, Sang so loud I drowned you out. At the red light, caught myself Smiling like I used to— Windows down. [Bridge] Maybe someday we’ll meet downtown, Say hello without looking at the ground. But tonight there’s a road I’ve never tried, And I wanna see what’s on the other side. [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Windows down, turn it up, Let the summer shake the dust. I’ve got a full tank, half a plan, And the wheel back in my hands. Took the long way out of town, Watched the daylight burning out. At the red light, caught myself Smiling like I used to— Windows down. [Outro] Nothing waiting, nowhere to rush, Windows down, turn it up.
