Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Old dirt road

Fresh black tar

We sprayed our names

On your daddy’s old barn

Short cut creek

Bare feet, red clay

You were riding shotgun

I was racing my age

[Chorus]

Those were the good ole days

Fast cars, slow summers

You laughing in my face

Like we’d never lose each other

Now I’m burning down this interstate

Taillights fading in the rain

Got a heavy foot and an empty seat

And a love that’s too far away

[Verse 2]

Two-lane town

Four-gear dream

Rust on the chrome

But it still ran clean

You swore you’d stay

I swore I’d go

Now your picture’s flapping

On my cracked sun visor, cold

[Chorus]

Those were the good ole days

Fast cars, slow summers

You laughing in my face

Like we’d never lose each other

Now I’m burning down this interstate

Taillights fading in the rain

Got a heavy foot and an empty seat

And a love that’s too far away

[Bridge]

Radio’s playing

Songs we used to sing (oh, those nights)

I keep checking every driveway

For a glimpse of your porch light

If miles were just miles

I could make it back by dawn

But distance feels deeper

Now that you’re gone

[Chorus]

Those were the good ole days

Fast cars, slow summers

You laughing in my face

Like we’d never lose each other

Now I’m burning down this interstate

Praying for a sign to change

Got a heavy foot and an empty seat

And a love that’s too far away

Yeah, a love that’s too far away
