Backseat Dreams And Gasoline

Verse 1

I was seventeen, nothing to lose

Had my daddy's truck and worn-out shoes

Summer with no plans, just open road

Radio blasting, letting my spirit go

She was sitting there with that smile

We drove all night, mile after mile

Pre-Chorus

That's when I learned what it meant to be free

That's when the world opened up just for me

Chorus

These backseat dreams and gasoline

Are the best years I've ever seen

Freedom tasted like her kiss that night

Under stars burning so damn bright

Backseat dreams and gasoline

Living proof of what we could be

Verse 2

We carved our names in that old oak tree

Promised forever, wild and carefree

Took that corner doing sixty-five

Felt alive, so alive

Now I'm older, but I still remember

That August night, that burning ember

Chorus

These backseat dreams and gasoline

Are the best years I've ever seen

Freedom tasted like her kiss that night

Under stars burning so damn bright

Backseat dreams and gasoline

Living proof of what we could be

Bridge

Some things fade but they never die

That feeling lives in me tonight

I'd trade it all just to feel that way

One more time, just one more day

Final Chorus

These backseat dreams and gasoline

Are the best years I've ever seen

Freedom tasted like her kiss that night

Under stars burning so damn bright

Backseat dreams and gasoline

Living proof of who we could be
