Lavender on the Dashboard

Verse 1

Two lane highway running west

Fence posts counting every mile

Lavender resting on the dash

Still holding on to your smile

Sun is leaning low and gold

Cattle grazing slow and tame

I keep your voice inside my chest

Like a warm and quiet flame

Pre-Chorus

And the map folds out like an old letter

Every town a word you said

Chorus

Lavender on the dashboard

Little purple proof of you

Lavender on the dashboard

Riding every mile I do

Fields go rolling into dusk

And I feel you riding too

Lavender on the dashboard

Every road leads back to you

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Every road leads back to you

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Verse 2

Passed a diner passed a steeple

Radio played something slow

Wind came through the open window

Smelled like summer long ago

You were standing in the doorway

Handing me a paper cone

Said these will keep you company

When you're driving out alone

Pre-Chorus

Now the hills turn blue and softer

And the stars start showing through

Chorus

Lavender on the dashboard

Little purple proof of you

Lavender on the dashboard

Riding every mile I do

Fields go rolling into dusk

And I feel you riding too

Lavender on the dashboard

Every road leads back to you

Bridge

Distant towns go dim and golden

One more hour one more bend

I'll be home before the morning

With your flowers in my hand

Chorus

Lavender on the dashboard

Little purple proof of you

Lavender on the dashboard

Riding every mile I do

Fields go rolling into dusk

And I feel you riding too

Lavender on the dashboard

Every road leads back to you

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Every road leads back to you

(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Every road leads back to you

Outro

Instrumental

Mm-mm

(Oh-oh)
