Lyrics: Verse 1: We meet under the county sign at dusk Your perfume’s like summer and my nerves turn dust You say, “Come on, don’t overthink it, kid” But my heart’s a drum that won’t sit still Pre-Chorus: I feel it—thump in my chest like a train Every time you say my name Chorus: County line heartbeat, carry me home Past the quiet towns, past the old chrome Silver sneakers jumping like sparks in the night If love’s a map, we’re the compass in flight County line heartbeat, don’t let me slow We’re alive where the highway glows Verse 2: The diner waitress writes our secrets in pie We pay in laughter, let the bitters stay dry Every stranger’s a chorus, every mile a hymn We’re just two ghosts learning how to win Pre-Chorus: So spin that dial, let the whole world hear This rhythm that pulls us near Chorus: County line heartbeat, carry me home Past the quiet towns, past the old chrome Silver sneakers jumping like sparks in the night If love’s a map, we’re the compass in flight County line heartbeat, don’t let me slow We’re alive where the highway glows Verse 3: If tomorrow’s trouble, we’ll face it smiling Like a guitar solo that won’t stop rising Hold my hand, feel the thunder turn sweet We’re not lost—we’re just learning new beats Bridge: Oh, I used to fear the dark on the ride Now I see your eyes and the road light up wide Silver sneakers on the edge of the sound Calling out, “Get up—don’t lay down” Final Chorus: County line heartbeat, carry me home Past the quiet towns, past the old chrome Silver sneakers jumping like sparks in the night If love’s a map, we’re the compass in flight County line heartbeat, don’t let me slow We’re alive where the highway glows
