Lyrics

Red Taillight Dawn (c) 2020, 2021, 2022

VERSE 1:
Ain't much that grows around here, especially teenage dreams
Life after high school is all bonfires and beer, a whole lot of nothing it seems

VERSE 2:
She's got a bag in the car, packed what she needed to run.
Might not get all that far; Might just surprise everyone

CHORUS:
She's leaving, kicking up dust, singing Tom Petty songs
Looking in the rearview watching it all get small in the red taillight dawn

VERSE 3:
Cruising with the windows down, last taste of summertime
She likes how freedom feels crossing the county line

CHORUS:
She's leaving, kicking up dust, singing Speedwagon songs
Looking in the rearview watching it all get small in the red taillight dawn

BRIDGE:
Nobody gets in the way
She's got too far to go
Nobody makes her stay
Nobody tells her no

VERSE 4:
Fire engine red, blue new-day sky
Color her goodbye

CHORUS:
She's leaving, kicking up dust, singing Def Leppard songs
Looking in the rearview watching it all get small in the red taillight dawn
She's moving on
Red taillight dawn
