Leave the Day in the Dust

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] You left the keys beside the sink A folded map, a smear of ink The old Ford coughed, then caught its breath We took the county road past Elmwood’s fence [Chorus] Cars keep carrying us out of town Past the feed store, past the water tower You take the wheel, I call the turns We leave the day in the dust behind us [Verse 2] Rain tapped hard on the hood at dusk Your sleeve smelled faintly of motor oil and rust We missed the bridge, took Route 19 Found a diner serving coffee strong and clean [Chorus] Cars keep carrying us out of town Past the feed store, past the water tower You take the wheel, I call the turns We leave the day in the dust behind us [Bridge] When the engine cools and the porch light’s on Tell me where you’d go if we drove till dawn [Final Chorus] Cars keep carrying us out of town Past the feed store, past the water tower You take the wheel, I call the turns We leave the day in the dust behind us [Outro] Keys on the counter, map in your hand One more mile before we make a plan
