Tailgate Dust

[Verse 1]
Mud on my boots
Sun on the hood
You were laughing like
I knew you would

Paper plate supper
Cooler in the bed
One kiss promised
Not a word said

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the night air's sweet
And the radio hums
Your hand on mine
Got me undone

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back
To that tailgate dust
And your blue-jean grin

Take me back
Take me back
Where the whole world fits
In a county line wind

[Verse 2]
Grandpa's old whistle
From the porch screen door
Your boots kicked off
By the cabin floor

We chased that summer
Like it knew our names
Now every back road
Burns the same

[Pre-Chorus]
And I still feel
That gravel glow
Your voice was a spark
I couldn't outgrow

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back
To that tailgate dust
And your blue-jean grin

Take me back
Take me back
Where the whole world fits
In a county line wind

[Bridge]
If I close my eyes
I can see that place
Orange in the west
And your hand on my face

One more slow spin
By the bean field fence
I'd trade this rush
For that one small chance

[Chorus]
Take me back
Take me back
To that tailgate dust
And your blue-jean grin

Take me back
Take me back
Where the whole world fits
In a county line wind

Take me back
Take me back
To that tailgate dust
Yeah, I still miss
How it all began
