[Verse 1]
Sunset stains the wheat gold
Fence posts turn to flame
You kick dust off your boots
And call me by my name
Old Ford waiting by the gate
Paint peeled, engine low
Cattle headin' to the creek
Where the cool night winds go
[Pre-Chorus]
You slide close on the bench seat
Window down, hair wild
We watch that sky go amber
And you smile that girl-next-style
[Chorus]
That old Ford, take us home
Underneath that sunset glow
That old Ford, you and me
Cattle low and stars up high
That old Ford, roll slow
Little farm road, long way home
That old Ford, hold me close
'Til the whole sky opens wide
[Verse 2]
Granddad's boots on the porch rail
Mama's screen door sighs
The barn light cuts one bright square
In the middle of the night
Calves bunch up by the water trough
Moon on the sorghum rows
You lean your head against my shoulder
Like you already know
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need much in this world
Just this dirt and this view
One hand on the steering wheel
One hand reachin' for you
[Chorus]
That old Ford, take us home
Underneath that sunset glow
That old Ford, you and me
Cattle low and stars up high
That old Ford, roll slow
Little farm road, long way home
That old Ford, hold me close
'Til the whole sky opens wide
[Bridge]
When the dusk turns deep blue
And the crickets start to sing
I see forever in your eyes
And the ring of the barn door swing
If this life is a prayer
Then let it be this drive
Your laugh, my hand, this front seat
And the stars coming alive
[Chorus]
That old Ford, take us home
Underneath that sunset glow
That old Ford, you and me
Cattle low and stars up high
That old Ford, roll slow
Little farm road, long way home
That old Ford, hold me close
'Til the whole sky opens wide
