Dusty Dashboard

(Music Starts - Acoustic guitar intro, slow and thoughtful, with a hint of steel guitar.)

(Verse 1) 
This old F-150's got some miles 
The paint is faded, ain't her style 
But I still see her sitting there beside me 
Bare feet up, hair blowing wild and free 
There's a faded map of Texas in the glove 
And a ghost of a perfume I used to love 
Every crack in this old leather tells a tale
 Of a love that we both swore would never fail.

(Chorus) 
'Cause that dusty dashboard's seen it all 
Saw us rise and saw us fall 
In the glow of the Friday night football game 
It heard me whisper her sweet name 
It held her hand-picked wildflowers in a cup 
And watched the summer sun come up 
It don't say a word, it just knows our story 
In all its heartache, all its glory.

(Verse 2) 
Remember sneaking out past the county line? 
Found that little spot down by the railroad sign 
With a warm six-pack and the radio low 
Dreamin' 'bout all the places we would go 
Carved our initials in that sycamore tree 
J.T. plus S.M. for eternity
 We were young and dumb and thought we had it made 
Just two kids in a love song that we played.

Chorus) 
'Cause that dusty dashboard's seen it all 
Saw us rise and saw us fall 
In the glow of the Friday night football game 
It heard me whisper her sweet name 
It held her hand-picked wildflowers in a cup 
And watched the summer sun come up 
It don't say a word, it just knows our story 
In all its heartache, all its glory.

(Bridge) 
Now the seasons turn and the years roll on by 
Sometimes I see her face in a clear blue sky 
Heard she married a fella from outta state 
Guess some things are just left up to fate 
But this old truck, it don't forget 
The way her smile looked on the day we met.

(Guitar Solo - Emotional and melodic, echoing the chorus melody.)

(Chorus - Softer, more reflective) 
Yeah, that dusty dashboard's seen it all... 
Saw us rise... and it saw us fall... 
It held her hand-picked wildflowers in a cup 
And watched the summer sun come up...

(Outro) Now it just holds dust and some regret 
A memory I ain't shaken yet 
Yeah, it's just me and this old empty seat
 Driving down a memory on a dead-end street... 
And this dusty dashboard.
