Night Country Drives

[Verse 1]
Two lanes
Fading in my rearview
Town lights
Dropping off like old news
Open sky
Poured out on the windshield
You sigh
Feet up on the dash, healed
[Chorus]
Night country drives
Windows down, air in our eyes
Let the white lines
Pull our thoughts out, leave them behind
Every mile
Steals a little weight from our lives
Nothing feels wrong, nothing feels right
Just you and me on
Night country drives
[Verse 2]
Radio
Mumbling our secret song
Soft glow
From the barn a field long gone
You laugh
Pointing out a busted sign
We pass
But the joke stays in my mind
[Chorus]
Night country drives
Windows down, air in our eyes
Let the white lines
Pull our thoughts out, leave them behind
Every mile
Steals a little weight from our lives
Nothing feels wrong, nothing feels right
Just you and me on
Night country drives
[Bridge]
You say, “Don’t ask
Where we’re going, just stay”
So I lean on the gas
Make the dark slip away (away)
[Chorus]
Night country drives
Windows down, air in our eyes
Let the white lines
Pull our thoughts out, leave them behind
Every mile
Steals a little weight from our lives
Nothing feels wrong, nothing feels right
Just you and me on
Night country drives

country, Dusty Americana groove at a cruising tempo, brushed drums and warm bass under twangy electric and acoustic guitars. Male vocals laid-back but present, with close double-tracked hook in the chorus. Subtle organ pad in the background; bridge strips down to guitar and voice before a final, fuller chorus with light harmonies and a small lift in energy.
