Verse 1
Saw her standing by the stage lights, hair shining in the Tennessee glow
Blonde like summer wheat fields, boots tapping to the radio
Fiddle crying through the speakers, dust dancing in the air
She looked back over her shoulder, man I swear the world stopped there
Pre-Chorus
We were laughing like old outlaws
Two strangers feeling free
Chorus
At the country festival under neon skies
Cold beer in our hands and a spark in her eyes
Singing every song like we wrote every line
Didn’t care about tomorrow, didn’t care about time
But the night rolled on and the engine wouldn’t stay
Stranded on a backroad at the end of the day
Yeah the stars were shining bright above the trees
And I thought, man… I should’ve bought that F-150
Verse 2
We drank beer till midnight turned to two or three
Talking ‘bout the places that we still wanna see
She was dancing in the gravel to a steel guitar song
Leaning on my shoulder like she’d been there all along
Pre-Chorus
But when the music faded out
Reality pulled in
Chorus
At the country festival under neon skies
Cold beer in our hands and a spark in her eyes
Singing every song like we wrote every line
Didn’t care about tomorrow, didn’t care about time
But the night rolled on and the engine wouldn’t stay
Stranded on a backroad at the end of the day
Yeah the stars were shining bright above the trees
And I thought, man… I should’ve bought that F-150
Bridge
If I had that truck with the chrome tailgate
We’d still be driving through that county state
Radio loud with her hand in mine
Rolling down a highway line
Final Chorus
That country festival under neon skies
Her blonde hair glowing in the firefly lights
Last call ringing like a sweet old melody
Just her and those memories
And every time I hear that old guitar play
I remember that summer slipping away
Yeah love might come and love might leave
But I sure should’ve bought that F-150
Outro
Yeah the stars were shining bright above the trees
And I still wish I had that F-150…
