Lyrics
[Verse 1] Dust on a dashboard Grass stains on my knees July on the river Hand-me-down blue jeans Mom calling supper From the back screen door We swore that gravel road Ran straight to the Lord [Chorus] Back when Main Street was the world to me Ball game lights and burnt CDs Rusty old Ford, tank half full, hearts all wild We were rich in Friday nights Cheap gas, cherry Coke, and time I still see it every mile I drive away Those carefree days In that small-town Illinois gray-blue haze [Verse 2] State line sign leaning By the soybean field We learned how to drive there Hands tight on the wheel Summers felt endless Like they’d never fade Til we tossed our caps up And went our separate ways [Chorus] Back when Main Street was the world to me Ball game lights and burnt CDs Rusty old Ford, tank half full, hearts all wild We were rich in Friday nights Cheap gas, cherry Coke, and time I still see it every mile I drive away Those carefree days In that small-town Illinois gray-blue haze [Bridge] Sometimes I chase that radio station Hoping it still reaches home One song, one line And I’m sixteen, I’m not grown (oh) [Chorus] Back when Main Street was the world to me Ball game lights and burnt CDs Rusty old Ford, tank half full, hearts all wild We were rich in Friday nights Cheap gas, cherry Coke, and time I still see it every mile I drive away Those carefree days In that small-town Illinois gray-blue haze
