Chasing the Fireflies

(Verse 1)The sun’s sinking low down behind the old pineLeaving a trail of that sweet summer wineGo grab the cooler, throw the tailgate right downWe’re leaving the dust of this sleepy little town.Put on that record that we both used to knowLet the headlights guide us where the tall grasses grow.(Chorus)And we'll go chasing the fireflies deep in the woodsLoving each other like we always knew we shouldUnderneath a blanket of a billion bright starsListening to the hum of those acoustic guitarsYeah, the world can just spin on by in a blurOut here in the quiet, just me and her.(Verse 2)The creek is still cool where it runs past the ridgeWe’ll park the truck right under the old wooden bridgeDon't need a map and we don't need a planJust the steady, warm touch of your hand in my handThe crickets are singing a sweet melodyAnd the moon's looking down on you and on me.(Chorus)And we'll go chasing the fireflies deep in the woodsLoving each other like we always knew we shouldUnderneath a blanket of a billion bright starsListening to the hum of those acoustic guitarsYeah, the world can just spin on by in a blurOut here in the quiet, just me and her.(Bridge)Midnight is coming but we’re just getting startedDown by the water where the willow trees partedTime takes a pause when you’re looking at meThis is exactly where we’re supposed to be.(Guitar & Fiddle Solo)(Chorus)And we'll go chasing the fireflies deep in the woodsLoving each other like we always knew we shouldUnderneath a blanket of a billion bright starsListening to the hum of those acoustic guitarsYeah, the world can just spin on by in a blurOut here in the quiet, just me and her.(Outro)Just me and her...Chasing those fireflies...Way out in the dark.Yeah, let it roll.(Fade out on a steady bass groove)
