Neon and gravel roads

“Neon and Gravel Roads”

Verse 1

There’s a two-lane road outside this town

Where the gravel pops when the sun goes down

Radio playin’ some old sad song

’Bout a love that left and a heart done wrong

Pickup rollin’, window down

Dust and memories all around

I still see you in that passenger seat

Barefoot dancin’ to the backbeat

Chorus

Under neon lights and a broken moon

We were singin’ every old love tune

Swore forever on a Friday night

With your hand in mine and the stars so bright

Now the jukebox plays what we used to be

And your memory’s ridin’ shotgun with me

Yeah love burned bright, but it didn’t last

Just neon and gravel roads of the past

Verse 2

There’s a bar on Main where we used to go

Where the beer was cheap and the band played slow

We’d spin around on a hardwood floor

Like nobody else was behind that door

You’d laugh and say don’t let me fall

I’d hold you close and we’d have it all

But time moves on like a midnight train

Leaves you standin’ in the rain

Chorus

Under neon lights and a broken moon

We were singin’ every old love tune

Swore forever on a Friday night

With your hand in mine and the stars so bright

Now the jukebox plays what we used to be

And your memory’s ridin’ shotgun with me

Yeah love burned bright, but it didn’t last

Just neon and gravel roads of the past

Bridge

If I had one wish on a whiskey prayer

I’d find you waitin’ right back there

In them faded jeans and that small-town smile

Holdin’ my heart just a little while

Final Chorus

Under neon lights and a broken moon

We were young and wild like a summer tune

Thought forever was a county mile

In the glow of your sweet smile

Now the night rolls on and the past won’t leave

Just an old guitar and these memories

Yeah love burned bright, but it didn’t last

Just neon and gravel roads of the past

Outro

Yeah the tires hum on that old dirt track

But some kind of love…

Ain’t never comin’ back.
