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 it when it's gone I see a dust trail following an old red Nova Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder [Chorus] Wait, baby, don't move, right there it is T-shirt hanging off a dogwood branch That river was cold, but we gave love a chance Yeah, yeah, to me You don't look a day over fast cars and freedom That sunset river bank first time feeling 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? I see a dust trail following an old red Nova Baby blue eyes, your head on my shoulder [Chorus] 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
