[Intro]
[Verse 1]
She laced her boots ‘neath the morning glow,
Tracing echoes of a boy she used to know.
His shadow’s pinned to the pines and stones,
Down the path where his heart still roams.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile whispers his childhood name,
Leaves crunch like the fires they couldn’t tame.
She follows the scars on the old oak bark,
A trail of memories leading through the dark.
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s chasing the ghost of a summer smile,
Through the goldenrod and the rusty mile.
Where his laughter’s buried in the creek’s refrain,
She’s running love down that dusty lane.
[Verse 2]
A rusty bike leans by the brook’s cold edge,
His initials carved in the weathered ledge.
She stumbles on a jar of marbles lost,
A kaleidoscope of the years it cost.
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind hums a tune from a long-ago day,
A lullaby sung in a faded way.
Her pulse matches footsteps he left behind,
Two stories tangled in a fraying line.
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s chasing the ghost of a summer smile,
Through the goldenrod and the rusty mile.
Where his laughter’s buried in the creek’s refrain,
She’s running love down that dusty lane.
[Bridge]
The barn door creaks with a hollow sigh,
She finds his name where the ivy’s high.
A cracked glass jar holds firefly light—
Fleeting sparks in the grip of night.
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s chasing the ghost of a summer smile,
Through the goldenrod and the rusty mile.
Where his laughter’s buried in the creek’s refrain,
She’s running love down that dusty lane.
[Outro]
