Verse 1] You pulled up late in that old Ford truck, Barefoot, laughing, saying, “Come on, get in.” We took that gravel road past the county line, Where the cornfields met that big Kansas sky. Had a blanket in the back and a cooler on ice, Radio low underneath the moonlight. You leaned on me and whispered, “Don’t let this end,” Girl, that was the night I knew I found my best friend. [Pre-Chorus] We didn't need a bar, didn't need a crowd, Just a little backroad with the windows down. [Chorus] We were burning up the summer like a Friday night, Two hearts dancing underneath a sky full of light. Every time you smiled, girl, I swear I could see A thousand little memories falling over me. Like fireflies glowing in a field after dark, Like your name written somewhere across my heart. If heaven's got a place where forever starts, I hope it looks like you and me With stars like fireflies lighting up the dark. [Verse 2] We spent Sunday morning sitting on the porch, Coffee in your hand, Bible by the door. You said a little prayer and I took your hand, Thanking God for giving me something I didn't plan. Then Monday came around way too fast, But I kept that picture of you in my dash. And every mile between me and you Just makes me wanna get back home to you. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I don't need a city shining bright, When I've got your eyes underneath these country skies. [Chorus] We were burning up the summer like a Friday night, Two hearts dancing underneath a sky full of light. Every time you smiled, girl, I swear I could see A thousand little memories falling over me. Like fireflies glowing in a field after dark, Like your name written somewhere across my heart. If heaven's got a place where forever starts, I hope it looks like you and me With stars like fireflies lighting up the dark. [Bridge] Someday we'll look back when we're old and gray, Laugh about the nights we threw our plans away. I'll still reach for your hand like I did that night, When you turned a little nowhere into paradise. [Final Chorus] We'll be burning up forever like a Friday night, Still two hearts dancing underneath that sky full of light. And every time you smile, I'll still swear I see The best damn thing that ever happened to me. Like fireflies glowing in a field after dark, Like your name written forever across my heart. If heaven's got a place where forever starts, I hope it looks like you and me Still chasing those memories With stars like fireflies lighting up the dark. [Outro] Yeah, girl, you and me… A backroad, a summer night, And stars like fireflies.
