and a wide
Modern radio-country with a polished Nashville sheen: crisp acoustic guitars driving the verses
steady kick and bass locking the groove
anthemic chorus with layered male harmonies. Fiddles and lap steel add color in the turnarounds
with a brief electric guitar hook after the second chorus. Energy builds from intimate verse to full-throttle singalong.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You showed up late in that hand-me-down Chevy
Dust on your boots and my hoodie on
Laughing at the way that the dashboard’s cracked
Singing every line wrong to your favorite song
[Chorus]
Backroads and red lights
You and me stealing Friday nights
Windows down, that summer sky
You leaning in at every stop sign
Heart beat, bench seat, two kids flying blind
Backroads and red lights
I was yours, you were mine
[Verse 2]
We carved our names in that old pine table
Swore we’d leave this town someday
But gas was cheap and your kiss was easy
So we just kept circling the same two lanes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
These days I pass that county line
Same old road, brand new life
Still see you there in the passenger side
Bare feet on the dash, saying “take your time”
[Chorus]
You showed up late in that hand-me-down Chevy
Dust on your boots and my hoodie on
Laughing at the way that the dashboard’s cracked
Singing every line wrong to your favorite song
[Chorus]
Backroads and red lights
You and me stealing Friday nights
Windows down, that summer sky
You leaning in at every stop sign
Heart beat, bench seat, two kids flying blind
Backroads and red lights
I was yours, you were mine
[Verse 2]
We carved our names in that old pine table
Swore we’d leave this town someday
But gas was cheap and your kiss was easy
So we just kept circling the same two lanes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
These days I pass that county line
Same old road, brand new life
Still see you there in the passenger side
Bare feet on the dash, saying “take your time”
[Chorus]
