Tailgate Memory

Dust on the dash

Mud on my boots

Your old ball cap

Hanging from the roof

That red dirt road

Still knows my name

Every Friday night

It feels the same

I pass that fence

And I slow down

Saw your brake lights

Leaving town

Now my heart

Does that old thing

Right there

In the county ring

Tailgate memory

Still runs deep

Tailgate memory

Won't let me sleep

One little song

And I'm right back there

Tailgate memory

In the cool night air

Store-bought roses

On the seat beside

Two for one

From the gas station line

Your screen door swung

In the summer heat

You laughed so hard

You forgot your keys

I pass that fence

And I slow down

Saw your brake lights

Leaving town

Now my heart

Does that old thing

Right there

In the county ring

Tailgate memory

Still runs deep

Tailgate memory

Won't let me sleep

One little song

And I'm right back there

Tailgate memory

In the cool night air

I tried to forget

I tried all week

But that worn-out lane

Still gets to me

If time's a thief

It left me this

A full tank of hurt

And a stolen kiss

Tailgate memory

Still runs deep

Tailgate memory

Won't let me sleep

One little song

And I'm right back there

Tailgate memory

In the cool night air

Tailgate memory

Yeah, I'm still there
