Lyrics
Verse 1
I got mud on my shoesAnd a burn on my handGot a half-drunk CokeIn a faded tin canYou left me a noteOn the dash that daySaid don't wait upI still did, anyway
Pre‑Chorus
Now the fields run brownAnd the moon runs highI hear that truckIn the passin' by
Chorus
Tailgate gritTailgate gritYou and meWasn't muchTailgate gritTailgate gritStill sticks onA heart like rust
Verse 2
Your hair in the windThat old screen door slamYour laugh went quickLike a jumpin' jack handI drove past your placeBut the blinds stayed downJust an old porch lightOn the edge of town
Pre‑Chorus
Now the fields run brownAnd the moon runs highI hear that truckIn the passin' by
Chorus
Tailgate gritTailgate gritYou and meWasn't muchTailgate gritTailgate gritStill sticks onA heart like rust
Bridge
If I roll out nowI'll take that roadOne last lookAt the house I knowNo big goodbyeNo hard goodbyeJust your nameOn a pale sky
Chorus
Tailgate gritTailgate gritYou and meWasn't muchTailgate gritTailgate gritStill sticks onA heart like rust
