Leave A Little Dust

ABOUT THIS SONG

Two kids, a moonlit dirt road, and right now instead of forever.

LYRICS

You showed up wearing that old faded blue It was my senior year with nothing much to
Do Said this town felt smaller every Friday night
So we crossed that county line and left our thoughts behind
You laughed when I turned down that old dirt road

Said we're too early to be thinking about home
So we let those lonely headlights pull us through the dark
Left our better judgment by the high school parking lot
You leaned in close, turned up the song Said we ain't lost, we're just gone

Leave a little dust where the blacktop ends Leave a little doubt with our so-called friends
We can take it slow, we can run all night We can make a wrong turn and feel just right
I can't give you forever, but I've got right now
A moonlit road and a way out of town Girl, wherever this old road runs to

Leave a little dust and I'll leave with you Yeah, I'll leave with you
We found us a field by an old fence line You kicked off your boots and said
Do you think we got time? You said your mama still thinks I'm bad news
I said she ain't exactly wrong, but I'm good with you

Truth is I've always been a little bit hard to hold
A little too restless, maybe a little too bold
But when your hand slipped, ease it down into mine
For once I didn't feel like leaving you behind

You leaned in close, turned down the song Said maybe home ain't where we need to go
Leave a little dust where the blacktop ends Leave a little doubt with our so-called friends
We can take it slow, we can run all night We can make a wrong turn and feel just right
I can't give you forever, but I've got right now

A moonlit road and a way out of town Girl, wherever this old road runs to
Leave a little dust and I'll leave with you
Wherever this old road runs to Leave a little dust and I'll leave with you
