(Acoustic
guitar
strumming,
gentle
fiddle
swell)
There’
s
a
faded
polaroid
stuck
on
my
dash
Of
a
summer
night
that
moved
a
little
too
fast
We
were
seventeen
with
nowhere
to
be
Just
an
old
Chevy
truck
and
a
rusted
key
The
moon
was
high
like
a
silver
light
Guiding
us
through
the
humid
night
Windows
rolled
down,
catching
the
breeze
Rustling
the
leaves
of
the
willow
trees
I
can
still
feel
the
static
on
the
AM
dial
We
drove
for
hours
just
to
share
a
smile
It
wasn't
about
where
the
road
would
end
It
was
the
long
way
home
with
a
real
good
friend
Oh,
those
late-night
drives
down
a
gravel
road
Carrying
secrets
that
we
never
showed
Windows
wide
open
to
the
pine-scented
air
With
the
wind
tangling
up
your
golden
hair
Time
stood
still
in
the
glow
of
the
dash
Before
the
years
turned
the
gold
into
ash
Just
simple
hearts
in
a
simpler
time
Living
a
memory
that’
s
still
feeling
fine
I
remember
the
smell
of
the
rain
on
the
lane
Watching
the
shadows
dance
on
the
window
pane
We
didn't
talk
much,
didn't
need
to
say
a
word
Just
listened
to
the
crickets
and
the
songs
of
the
bird
The
world
felt
small,
just
the
gravel
and
sand
With
my
heart
beating
steady
in
the
palm
of
your
hand
We
caught
fireflies
in
a
mason
jar
Wondering
if
we’
d
ever
make
it
real
far
But
tonight
feels
just
like
it
used
to
do
When
the
road
was
endless
and
the
sky
was
blue
Yeah,
the
map
was
blank
and
the
tank
was
full
Caught
in
that
gentle,
nostalgic
pull
Oh,
those
late-night
drives
down
a
gravel
road
Carrying
secrets
that
we
never
showed
Windows
wide
open
to
the
pine-scented
air
With
the
wind
tangling
up
your
golden
hair
Time
stood
still
in
the
glow
of
the
dash
Before
the
years
turned
the
gold
into
ash
Just
simple
hearts
in
a
simpler
time
Living
a
memory
that’
s
still
feeling
fine
Now
the
highways
are
wider
and
the
pace
is
fast
But
I
still
find
myself
looking
into
the
past
Back
to
the
hum
of
that
six-cylinder
engine
Back
to
the
days
that
I’
m
still
defendin'
It
wasn't
a
dream,
it
was
solid
and
real
I
can
still
feel
the
grip
of
the
steering
wheel (
Melodic
pedal
steel
and
acoustic
guitar
interplay)
Oh,
those
late-night
drives
down
a
gravel
road
Carrying
secrets
that
we
never
showed
Windows
wide
open
to
the
pine-scented
air
With
the
wind
tangling
up
your
golden
hair
Time
stood
still
in
the
glow
of
the
dash
Before
the
years
turned
the
gold
into
ash
Just
simple
hearts
in
a
simpler
time
Living
a
memory
that’
s
still
feeling
fine
Yeah,
those
late-night
drives
Just
keep
them
coming
alive
Rolling
down
the
country
lane
Memories
are
all
that
remain
Softly
now,
let
the
music
fade
Into
the
life
that
we
both
made (
Fiddle
fades
out,
final
acoustic
guitar
chord
rings)
