[Verse 1]
Red dirt on my boots
On the floorboard
You’re laughin’ in that torn-up seat
July air in your hair
Blowin’ sideways
You’re the only cool thing in this heat
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“This town don’t know our names
Just our fathers’ sins and our license plates”
I watched your knuckles on the wheel turn white
Thought
I’d follow you out of here tonight
[Chorus]
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the storm in my wide open sky
Little fire in a field of dry
Say the word
I’ll burn
I’ll fly
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the dare in every goodbye
If I get lost in you
That’s fine
Red dirt
Blue eyes
Be mine
[Verse 2]
Back roads
Bar signs
Chipped-off letters
We’re dancin’ in a gravel lot glow
You’re singin’ all the words to a song I don’t know
But I swear I feel it in my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
“Boy
You scared of losin’?
Or you scared of stayin’ the same?”
I saw our future in a busted mirror
Hung crooked in the window of that place
[Chorus]
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the storm in my wide open sky
Little fire in a field of dry
Say the word
I’ll burn
I’ll fly
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the dare in every goodbye
If I get lost in you
That’s fine
Red dirt
Blue eyes
Be mine
[Bridge]
[Band drops to half-time
Vocal almost whispered]
If we leave these county lines tonight (tonight)
Will your hand still find my hand at every light? (every light)
If the world turns you to somethin’ new
Will you still look back and see me too?
[Chorus]
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the storm in my wide open sky
Little fire in a field of dry
Say the word
I’ll burn
I’ll fly
Red dirt
Blue eyes
You’re the dare in every goodbye
If I get lost in you
That’s fine
Red dirt
Blue eyes
Be mine (be mine)
[Outro]
Red dirt
Blue eyes
Say the word
I’ll drive
