Lyrics
Dust settles slow on these backroads at night Whiskey whispers 'bout the girl who took flight
Grew up chasin' sunsets on my old man's farm Pickup rattlin' down dirt lanes, holdin' her arm Small town Friday lights, neon buzzin' bright Two kids dreamin' big under that summer night Beer cans clinkin' to the radio's call Faith in forever, we swore we'd never fall
Oh, darlin', we danced like the world was ours Barefoot in the hay, countin' firefly hours Trucks and tailgates, hearts runnin' wild and free Small town love, that's the best part of me Heartbreak hit like a cold winter rain But I'd do it all again, through the joy and the pain
Family gathered 'round the table, stories untold Whiskey by the fire, watchin' her silver and gold Rode those county lines, windows down, wind in our hair Laughed through the hard times, not a single care Faith kept us steady when the storms rolled in Small town roots run deep, where the healin' begins
Oh, darlin', we danced like the world was ours Barefoot in the hay, countin' firefly hours Trucks and tailgates, hearts runnin' wild and free Small town love, that's the best part of me Heartbreak hit like a cold winter rain But I'd do it all again, through the joy and the pain
She chased them city lights, left me in the dust Nights get lonely now, but I learned to trust Family prayers echo in the quiet dawn Faith says one day, she'll come ridin' home
Oh, darlin', we danced like the world was ours Barefoot in the hay, countin' firefly hours Trucks and tailgates, hearts runnin' wild and free Small town love, that's the best part of me Heartbreak hit like a cold winter rain But I'd do it all again, through the joy and the pain
Dust on my boots, stars callin' her name Small town forever, nothin' ever the same Yeah, I'd do it all again...
