[Verse 1]
After midnight
Gravel road, high beams fade
Dust on my boots
Your name on that license plate
Cheap gas, coffee
Static on the dash display
You left town Sunday
I'm still driving like you might stay
[Chorus]
After midnight, I still feel you
In the back of this old truck, in every rearview
Got my heart on the line, like a neon sign
Flicker when I say I'm fine
After midnight, I still want you
Every mile that I outrun pulls me back to you
Shouting your name to the dark sky wide
I'm only honest
After midnight
[Verse 2]
Half talk, half pray
Rapping to the steering wheel
Spilling out secrets
You were the only one I'd never shield
Phone on the seat
Buzzing like it knows my sins
But it ain't your number
Just boys asking where I've been
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Tailgate down
Wind in my face
I pour that hurt
Right into space
If you pulled up now
On this dead-end lane
Would you climb right in
Or drive past my name
[Chorus]
