[Intro] (Rumbling drums and a rolling twelve-string guitar lick set a dusty backroad tone) [Verse 1] Had a crumpled note in my pocket Said, “Be cool, and don’t be late” Took that backroad outta habit Cruisin’ slow, but I couldn’t wait [Chorus] She said we’re done with dreamin’ And tonight go all the way So I’m headin’ for the neon With a mission I can’t betray [Instrumental Solo] (Harmonica wails over a blues guitar, like a lonesome whistle at twilight) [Verse 2] Passed the church and the diner With a nervous, sideways grin Just a boy with too much fire And a listless wind blowin’ in [Chorus] She said we’re done with wonderin’ And the moment’s ours to claim So I’m huntin’ down salvation With a paper bag and no shame [Instrumental Solo] (blues guitar paints the scenery in warm, golden nostalgia) [Verse 3] Clerk gave me that old chuckle Like he’d been there once or twice I said, “Just ring it up, my brother, I ain’t lookin’ for advice” [Bridge] It’s a rite of quiet passage Where the heart don’t need to speak It’s the bloom before the lightning When you’re standin’ on the peak [Instrumental Solo] (Lead guitar takes a lazy, confident stroll through the chords) [Chorus] She said we’re done with guessin’ And the time’s just feelin’ right So I’m bringin’ back a promise With the stars tucked into night [Outro] (Music slows as the guitar fades into a glowing echo) [Chorus] She said we’re done with waitin’ And the door’s no longer locked So I rolled into tomorrow With my engine softly talked [Instrumental Solo] (A final, melodic riff like a sunrise cresting the hills)
