Headlights

Flannels and ripped jeans and Friday nights
Now all I see is fields and fences
Remembering flickering lights on a Sunday
Just wanting to feel something
These memories won’t let me be
So I’ll just play them back
I see summer rain
And that autumn change
It all came so fast
Smell of wood burning
Sparks jumping around
I thought by now
I’d have it all figured out
With our hoods up
And our hearts out
I was fearless before I got let down
I wonder if I could
Get back to that place now
I got two headlights
And a thousand miles to go
Two hundred feet of light
On this dark and windy road
Midnight stars haunt my skies
Burning scars fill my mind
Waiting on a wish to come true
Maybe I can find my way
Back to where I belong
Just following my headlights
Headlights
Maybe I don’t have to see where I’m going
Just follow my headlights
I’m searching back roads
For wishes and dreams
Long gone
Ripped at the seams
Whispered a quiet prayer in this heart of mine
Filled with questions
As big as the Tennessee sky
And like ghosts these memories
Just follow me around
Looking back I never thought that
I’d leave that town
Airplanes and shooting stars
Were my company all along
The moon stayed the same
But those days are long gone
With our hoods up
And our hearts out
I was fearless before I got let down
I wonder if I could
Get back to that place now
I got two headlights
And a thousand miles to go
Two hundred feet of light
On this dark and windy road
Midnight stars haunt my skies
Burning scars fill my mind
Waiting on a wish to come true
Maybe I can find my way
Back to where I belong
Just following my headlights
Headlights
Maybe I don’t have to see where I’m going
Just follow my headlights
With our hoods up
And our hearts out
I was fearless till I got let down
I wonder if I could
Get back to that place now
That place now
I got two headlights
And a thousand miles to go
Two hundred feet of light
On this dark and windy road
Midnight stars haunt my skies
Burning scars fill my mind
Waiting on a wish to come true
Maybe I can find my way
Back to where I belong
Maybe I’ll be alright
Maybe I don’t have to know
Just following my headlights
Headlights
Maybe I don’t have to see where I’m going
Just follow my headlights
