[Verse 1]
Sun came up on the hayfield
Frost on the fence wire, coffee gone cold
You were mending a gate by the creek bend
Blue denim jacket, hands in the gold
I rolled in late in that white Chevy
Dust on the doors, hay in the bed
You laughed when the old thing coughed twice
And every plan I had went red
[Pre-Chorus]
We took the long way past the cattle guard
Two hearts learning how to drop their guard
[Chorus]
I fell for you in a white Chevy Silverado
With the ranch road winding through Powderhorn
Your shoulder close and the radio low
Colorado skies breaking open at dawn
We had no map, just a tank half full
And a week's worth of work left to do
I found a life worth holding on to
In that white Chevy, falling for you
[Verse 2]
You showed me where the creek runs silver
Under cottonwoods bent by the snow
We fixed the south fence before supper
Then watched the San Juans turn rose
Your old dog slept by the tailgate
Boots lined up outside the bunkhouse door
You said, "Tomorrow starts before sunrise"
I said, "I ain't leaving anymore"
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind came hard off the high divide
You tucked your hand in mine and smiled
[Chorus]
I fell for you in a white Chevy Silverado
With the ranch road winding through Powderhorn
Your shoulder close and the radio low
Colorado skies breaking open at dawn
We had no map, just a tank half full
And a week's worth of work left to do
I found a life worth holding on to
In that white Chevy, falling for you
[Bridge]
If the winter comes and the water runs thin
If the roof needs patching, we'll start again
There's a thousand miles I don't need to roam
When your laugh is waiting by the fence back home
[Final Chorus]
I fell for you in a white Chevy Silverado
With the ranch road winding through Powderhorn
Your shoulder close and the radio low
Colorado skies breaking open at dawn
Now every mile is a promise kept
Every sunrise is a little more true
I found a life worth holding on to
In that white Chevy, falling for you
Yeah, that white Chevy, falling for you
[Outro]
Powderhorn dust on the tires
Your hand in mine, and the engine cools
