Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sun’s goin’ down on this two-lane Dust on my boots and my hands Clock on the dash keeps askin’ Why I waited this long to stand [Chorus] I’m hurrying home to you Old bones, worn shoes But my heart still runs like a child in June I’m hurrying home to you Past the years I blew Every mile I move, I’m closer to the truth I’m hurrying home to you [Verse 2] Mailbox leanin’ like I’m leanin’ Half a tank and a prayer That porch light in my memory I swear I see it flicker there [Chorus] I’m hurrying home to you Old bones, worn shoes But my heart still runs like a child in June I’m hurrying home to you Past the years I blew Every mile I move, I’m closer to the truth I’m hurrying home to you [Bridge] Hands shake on the key ring (oh darlin’) Breath stuck in my chest If you’re on the other side I’ll spend what’s left doin’ my best [Chorus] I’m hurrying home to you Old bones, worn shoes But my heart still runs like a child in June I’m hurrying home to you Past the years I blew Every mile I move, I’m closer to the truth I’m hurrying Still hurrying Home to you

Vocal sits right up front, breaths and cracks preserved; subtle harmony doubles in the chorus. Dynamics grow slightly into each chorus, then fall back to a bare, almost whispered bridge, ending on a fragile, held final note and lingering guitar chord., deep, vocal, ballad, slow
