Dusty Roads and Open Skies

[Intro] [Verse 1] Well the sun dips low on a rusty pickup truck Fields of gold where the corn grows tall and tough Grandad’s hands carved this land from the clay Mama’s voice hums the hymns of yesterday [Chorus] Oh, it’s dusty roads and open skies A love that burns in my lover’s eyes Where the river bends and the pines all sigh That’s where my heart’ll live ’til I die [Verse 2] Friday nights at the old dirt-track dance Boots stomp rhythms in a worn-out trance Jenny’s laugh cuts through the neon haze We’re just ghosts in the glow of a simpler phase [Bridge] Time’s a thief, but these memories stay Like the scars on the fence where we carved our names And when the stars write their tales up high I’ll still hear the whippoorwill’s lullaby [Chorus] Oh, it’s dusty roads and open skies A love that burns in my lover’s eyes Where the river bends and the pines all sigh That’s where my heart’ll live ’til I die [Outro]
