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
