Tailgate Promises

We were seventeen and restless, chasing stars on gravel roads

Summer nights and Dixie cups, talking ’bout where we’d go

Your hand in mine, the world was ours, under that July sky

You said, “I don’t got much now, but I swear I’ll try”

Tailgate promises and firefly lights

We swore forever in the heat of the night

With a radio low and hearts running high

We built our love under the county line sky

No diamond ring, just dreams and a kiss

But baby, we’re still living

Off tailgate promises

Now we’ve got bills and babies, life’s not always sweet

But I see that girl in your eyes every time you look at me

You still pull me close when the stars are out

Still that boy I dreamed about

Tailgate promises and firefly lights

We swore forever in the heat of the night

With a radio low and hearts running high

We built our love under the county line sky

No fancy vows, just truth and a wish

But baby, we’re still living

Off tailgate promises

We didn’t need a chapel or a band to play our song

Just two young hearts that knew they’d last this long

Tailgate promises and firefly lights

Still feel the spark when you hold me tight

Through every storm and every fight

You’re still the reason I believe in that night

No looking back, no hit or miss

Baby, we’re still living

Off tailgate promises

Yeah, we’re still living…

Off tailgate promises

Your hand in mine, the world was ours, under that July sky

You said, “I don’t got much now, but I swear I’ll try”
