Lyrics

Dust on the dashboard, windows down slow
Friday night freedom on a two-lane road
You smiled at me underneath that county sign
Girl, you turned a small-town dream into a wild ride

Bonfire shadows dancing on your skin
Didn’t know forever could begin like this
Stars above us and nowhere to be
Just your hand reaching out for me

No matter where this highway goes
We’re chasing moments nobody knows
From sunset skies to city lights
You and me, we’re feeling alive

Backroads and tail lights
Love burning bright all through the night
From the radio songs to the city skyline
We’re dancing between forever and tonight
Backroads and tail lights
Nothing but stars and a feeling so right
Wherever we run, wherever we fly
We’ll always find our way tonight

Oh-oh-oh, we’re feeling alive
Oh-oh-oh, under these neon lights
Oh-oh-oh, never saying goodbye
Backroads and tail lights

Old boots and memories in the rearview glass
Funny how the best things happen fast
Every mile just brings us closer still
Two hearts chasing one dream uphill

I never knew love could feel this free
Like a summer breeze rolling over me
If tomorrow comes and the world moves on
We’ll still be singing our favorite song
