[Verse 1]
You pulled up late in that hand‑me‑down Chevy
Gas light on
But your eyes so heavy
"Long week, boy, can we just drive?"
Bare feet up on my cracked dashboard
July air
Blowing through that thrift‑store
T‑shirt, saying "I'm still alive"
[Chorus]
Last night on a dirt road
You said you just want something real
Headlights on a cornfield
Made a promise we could almost feel
If it all goes south
If the world turns cold
We got one small town
And a hand to hold
Yeah, that felt like forever
Last night on a dirt road (ohh)
[Verse 2]
You laughed hard at my out‑of‑tune singing
Turned it up
Window down, beer swinging
Said, "Boy, you’re lucky that you’re cute"
We talked dreams like we owned that county
Big city lights
But we liked this county
Still you said, "I’d go anywhere with you"
[Chorus]
Last night on a dirt road
You said you just want something real
Headlights on a cornfield
Made a promise we could almost feel
If it all goes south
If the world turns cold
We got one small town
And a hand to hold
Yeah, that felt like forever
Last night on a dirt road (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
Maybe we crash
Maybe we fade
Maybe you leave
For some bigger stage
But if I’m old
And I’m there alone
I’ll still taste your name
In that dust and smoke (oh)
[Chorus]
Last night on a dirt road
You said you just want something real
Tailgate as our front porch
Kissed you slow like time stood still
If it all goes south
If the world turns cold
We got one small town
And a hand to hold
Yeah, I’ll chase that forever
From last night on a dirt road
