Dust Clouds on an Old Back Road

[Verse 1]

Coffee in a chipped tin cup

Map folded on the dash

Sun crawling up the rearview

Painting gold on broken glass

You tap time on the window

Humming some old faded tune

I watch your hair catch morning

Like a field in early June

[Chorus]

Dust on the dashboard

Miles in our shoes

Every little town sign

Feels like deja vu

Laughing at the wrong turns

Loving what we lose

Dust on the dashboard

But I’m right here with you

[Verse 2]

We pass by that shuttered diner

Where the jukebox used to glow

You say you can taste the cherry pie

From twenty years ago

Your hand finds mine mid-sentence

Silence finishes the rest

Two kids in an old green Chevy

Hearts parked in our chests

[Chorus]

Dust on the dashboard

Miles in our shoes

Every little town sign

Feels like deja vu

Laughing at the wrong turns

Loving what we lose

Dust on the dashboard

But I’m right here with you

[Bridge]

If the tank runs empty

We’ll just walk a while

Kick up little stories

In a gravel-smile

All the things we can’t take

All the dreams we still might chase

Live between your quiet breath

And this open, open space

[Chorus]

Dust on the dashboard

Miles in our shoes

Every little town sign

Still feels like you

Laughing at the wrong turns

Choosing them too

Dust on the dashboard

But I’m right here

Right here with you

But I’m right here

Right here with you
