Starin' at you takin' off your makeup
Wondering why you even put it on
I know you think you do, but baby, you don't need it
Wish that you could see what I see when it's gone

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby, don't move, right there it is
A t-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch

That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah, to me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank, first time feeling, oh

Yeah, smile and shake your head
As if you don't believe me
I'll just sit right here and let you take me back
I'm on that gravel road, look at me
On my way to pick you up
You're standing on the front porch
Looking just like that, remember that (oh, just like that)

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
Wait, baby, don't move, right there it is
A t-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch

That river was cold but we gave love a chance
Yeah, to me
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank, first time feeling, yeah, yeah

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova
Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank, first-time feeling

I see a dust trail following an old red Nova (no, no, no)
Baby, blue eyes, your head on my shoulder
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom, oh
(T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch) that sunset, on that river bank

That river was cold but we gave love a chance, oh
That first time feeling, yeah, yeah
You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom
That sunset river bank first time feeling
