To the night

Down a gravel road with the moon hangin’ low
Radio hummin’ an old Merle tune
You were laughin’ in the dash light glow
Didn’t know then I was losin’ you 

If I’d seen the cracks in that pale gold sky
I’d have held on tighter that night 

I’d go back to the night we crossed that line
Two hearts burnin’ like porchlight wine
If I knew goodbye was closin’ in
I’d have stayed right there where it all began
Yeah, I’d trade every mile I’ve driven since
Just to feel your hand in mine again 

Pickup dust on your mama’s drive
Crickets singin’ what I couldn’t say
We were young, swearin’ we had time
Time had plans that went its own way 

I’d have spoken up instead of prayin’
That love would read my mind


I’d go back to the night we crossed that line
Two hearts burnin’ like porchlight wine
If I knew goodbye was closin’ in
I’d have stayed right there where it all began
Yeah, I’d trade every mile I’ve driven since
Just to feel your hand in mine again 

Now every barstool knows your name
Every slow song feels the same
I tip my hat to what we were
Then drink to what we ain’t


I’d go back, yeah, I’d change it all
Hold you closer, let the world stall
Some nights still don’t feel right
Since the night you weren’t mine

Like the night we met
