Dirt Road Satellite

[Verse 1]
Same two pumps
Same broke sign
Same three beers
On a Friday night
You pull up
Dust on your smile
Say
"You still stuck
In this same old mile?"
[Chorus]
We’re just a dirt road satellite
Sending up sparks in the middle of the night
Tiny little town on a big blue screen
But I feel like a star when you’re next to me
Yeah
The world might never spell our names right
But we’re burning our own kind of porchlight
If this is all we ever get in this life
I’m good staying small
Small town
Feeling ten feet tall
[Verse 2]
Hand-me-down truck
Backseat dreams
Tape on the dash
Split wide seams
You kick your boots
On the radio glow
Say
"Anywhere’s better"
But you don’t go
[Chorus]
We’re just a dirt road satellite
Sending up sparks in the middle of the night
Tiny little town on a big blue screen
But I feel like a star when you’re next to me
Yeah
The world might never spell our names right
But we’re burning our own kind of porchlight
If this is all we ever get in this life
I’m good staying small
Small town
Feeling ten feet tall (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
Maybe we’ll run
Or maybe we won’t
Maybe this county line
Is all we’ll ever own
But if I’m stuck right here
Till the day I’m gone
At least this nowhere
Gave us one good song
[Chorus]
We’re just a dirt road satellite
Sending up sparks in the middle of the night
Tiny little town on a big blue screen
But I feel like a star when you’re next to me
Yeah
The world might never spell our names right
But we’re burning our own kind of porchlight
If this is all we ever get in this life
I’m good staying small
Small town
Feeling ten feet tall
Yeah
I’m good staying small
Small town
Feeling ten feet tall (hey!)

rock, Late-90s alt-country meets polished pop country: twangy electric guitars over warm 808-laced drums, steady mid-tempo groove. Verses stay close and conversational, bass and kick pulsing under a single vocal; chorus explodes with stacked male harmonies, wide guitars, and roomy snare. Subtle organ pads and tambourine lift the hook; final chorus pushes the anthemic feel with ad-libs and extra crash cymbals., alternative country, country rock, rhythmic, electric, pop, male vocals, country
