Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dust on the dashboard
Pine trees leanin' in
River out the window
Old songs on the wind
You can smell that smoke already
Though I'm miles away
I see that field behind Jake's barn
Glowin' orange and gray
[Chorus]
I miss those backroads to Bonners Ferry
Where the stars felt close enough to hold
Passin' around cheap beer and big dreams
Sayin' we'd never get old
Talkin' 'bout rings and forever
Till forever slipped right through our fingers one night
Yeah, my heart's still parked on that hillside
In the shadows of those mountain lights
[Verse 2]
You were on my tailgate
Boots swingin' in the dark
Laughin' 'bout baby names
Tracin' lines on my arm
Said we'd build a little house
Near your granddad's place
Somewhere the fog rolls off the peaks
And kisses your pretty face
[Chorus]
I miss those backroads to Bonners Ferry
Where the stars felt close enough to hold
Passin' around cheap beer and big dreams
Sayin' we'd never get old
Talkin' 'bout rings and forever
Till forever slipped right through our fingers one night
Yeah, my heart's still parked on that hillside
In the shadows of those mountain lights
[Bridge]
Funny how the world keeps turnin'
But that gravel road stays the same
Every turn still holds our laughter
Every curve still knows your name (oh darling)
[Chorus]
I miss those backroads to Bonners Ferry
Where the stars felt close enough to hold
Bonfires, your head on my shoulder
Tellin' secrets we thought no one would know
Talkin' 'bout rings and forever
Now forever's just a word I say to the sky
But my heart's still parked on that hillside
Yeah, my heart's still parked on that hillside
Where we once planned out our whole life
