Lyrics
Dust settlin' on the old dirt road Tail lights fadin' in the midnight glow
Grew up chasin' fireflies by the creek Small town dreams, you and me Friday nights, boots on the floor Two-step swayin' through the barn door Your laughter echoin' in my ear Whiskey burnin' away the fear
Now I'm drivin' these backroads alone Truck radio singin' our old song Heartbreak hits like a summer storm But I'll raise a glass to the love we mourn In this small town, under neon lights Dancin' shadows in the dead of night
Family gathered 'round the kitchen table Stories told, faith keepin' us stable Daddy's truck with the rusty bed Carried us through the words unsaid Your goodbye note on the dashboard lay Whiskey bottle chasin' blues away
Now I'm drivin' these backroads alone Truck radio singin' our old song Heartbreak hits like a summer storm But I'll raise a glass to the love we mourn In this small town, under neon lights Dancin' shadows in the dead of night
One day the pain'll fade like morning dew Find my way back to feelin' new With kinfolk callin', and the good Lord's grace I'll keep on rollin' in this sacred place
Now I'm drivin' these backroads alone Truck radio singin' our old song Heartbreak hits like a summer storm But I'll raise a glass to the love we mourn In this small town, under neon lights Dancin' shadows in the dead of night
Yeah, dancin' shadows... in the dead of night Tail lights fadin'... into the light
