Dusty Road and a Warm Coke

[Chorus] Dusty road, summer heat so thick Cicadas hummin' their lazy, low trick Shared that Coke on a tailgate, rustin' slow Didn't wanna let you go, didn't wanna let you go. [Verse] Sun beat down on that faded gravel lane Smell of cut grass, washin' down like rain Little town shrinkin' in the rearview mirror's gleam Livin' out a childhood dream, or so it seemed. [Pre-Chorus] We tried to laugh, tried to make a joke Words like smoke, barely spoke This last afternoon, a heavy, golden haze Lost in these endless summer days. [Chorus] Dusty road, summer heat so thick Cicadas hummin' their lazy, low trick Shared that Coke on a tailgate, rustin' slow Didn't wanna let you go, didn't wanna let you go. [Verse] Remember that cap, brim worn and torn? We played ball 'til the early morn Now it sits there, a silent, sad decree A piece of you, a piece of me. [Bridge] That chipped-off paint on the Ford's old hood Felt like forever, misunderstood How fast the moments fly, how quick they fade On this dusty road we made. [Chorus] Dusty road, summer heat so thick Cicadas hummin' their lazy, low trick Shared that Coke on a tailgate, rustin' slow Didn't wanna let you go, didn't wanna let you go. [Verse] Warm soda bubbles, stingin' on the tongue Songs we never sung, left unstrung Watched the shadows stretchin', long and deep Secrets we would keep, while the world's asleep.
