[Intro]
Dust on the dash
Mud on the chrome
Same little road
That raised me grown (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Bench seat cracked
Headliner saggin’
Old blue paint
But the heart still draggin’
Got a cooler in the back
And a plan to get lost
Gas gauge broke
We just countin’ on God
Tailgate rattlin’
To the beat of our laugh
You leanin’ in close
Bare feet on the glass (woah)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy
[Verse 2]
I’m like
Click-clack keys, V8 pray it starts
Two lane lane, that’s where I park my heart
You on my right side, legs on my lap
Turn that cap back, you laugh when I rap
Talk big city, but your roots run deep
Small town queen in a faded white tee
I’m the kid with the truck and a dream too loud
You said, “Drive ‘til the stars drown out the clouds” (hey!)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy
[Bridge]
Someday get a new truck
Big screen, leather
But it won’t hit
Like broke-down weather
First kiss fog on the cracked glass window
First “I love you” where the cornfields grow
If I lose that road, I lose my way
So I keep turnin’ down that same red clay (yeah)
[Chorus]
In my old ’97 Chevy on the backroad
Windows down, let the summer air roll
You singin’ off-key to the radio
Hair in your eyes, sayin’ “don’t go slow”
Every curve writein’ you and me
Right there in the dust like a memory
If this tank runs dry, I still ain’t ready
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy (my old ’97 Chevy)
To let go of you
Or my old ’97 Chevy (oh yeah)
