Nova, Dex, and Me

[Verse 1]
Packed one bag
And a busted old hat
Dex said
"Brother
You sure 'bout that?"
Nova at the window
Nose to the glass
Chasin' them clouds
Watchin' the fields roll past
[Chorus]
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon
We ain't ever takin' over
Just lookin' for a quiet little patch of sky
Where the howls sound holy
And the long days slide
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon tonight
[Verse 2]
Ticket in my pocket
Crumpled and creased
Mama in the driveway
Sayin'
"Call me
At least"
Nova starts barkin'
At the first big roar
Dex just grins
"Man
We ain't in Kansas no more"
[Chorus]
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon
We ain't ever takin' over
Just lookin' for a quiet little patch of sky
Where the howls sound holy
And the long days slide
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon tonight
[Bridge]
If we run out of gas
We'll just float awhile
Count old scars
Trade old smiles
Nova chasin' craters
Through that silver sea
Dex laughin'
"Look how small
The trouble looks to me"
[Chorus]
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon
We ain't ever takin' over
Just lookin' for a quiet little patch of sky
Where the howls sound holy
And the long days slide
Me and my brother Dex and my dog Nova
Goin' to the moon tonight

Laid-back acoustic blues trio feel with brushed snare, upright bass, and warm hollow-body guitar; male vocals with a storytelling drawl. Verses stay intimate and low, then chorus leans into a bigger sing-along hook with light organ pads and call-and-response backing harmonies on the title line. Subtle slide guitar licks answer vocal phrases for a cozy, front-porch-to-outer-space vibe., blues
