Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boardwalk faded at the edge of town My dad's old truck still knows that road You in the passenger, hair tied up Laughing while the tall corn rolled We left two ruts in a county field Shared one Coke and a paper map You drew a heart on the fogged-up glass Said, "Don't let this moment pass" [Pre-Chorus] And the sky went gold When you leaned in close I knew right then I'd never let you go [Chorus] Dust on the dash, your hand in mine Same sweet song on the radio line Hometown roads and a summer spark You and me shining in the dark Dust on the dash, don't let it fade We were young in the hottest days Oh, take me back, take me back To dust on the dash [Verse 2] County fair lights on a Friday night Your laugh cut through that Ferris wheel spin We kissed by the fence where the funnel cakes Drew all the kids back in Now every mile on this old lane Still tastes like you and moonlit heat I roll the window, let the wind blow through And I swear you're riding next to me [Pre-Chorus] And the stars came out Like they knew our names I still hear your voice When the summer rain came [Chorus] Dust on the dash, your hand in mine Same sweet song on the radio line Hometown roads and a summer spark You and me shining in the dark Dust on the dash, don't let it fade We were young in the hottest days Oh, take me back, take me back To dust on the dash [Bridge] If I ever get lost out on this blue horizon I'll follow that memory back home Where your eyes met mine in the fading light And everything I wanted was known [Final Chorus] Dust on the dash, your hand in mine Same sweet song on the radio line Hometown roads and a summer spark You and me shining in the dark Dust on the dash, don't let it fade We were young in the hottest days Oh, take me back, take me back To dust on the dash
