[ Featuring The Plastic Garden Band ]
Met you where the fence line broke
Summer air thick with pine and smoke
Freckles dancin' on sunburned skin
You smiled like trouble I wanted in
You kissed me first by the water's bend
Said, If this ends, let's not pretend
Your hands were calloused, your heart was bold
But love like that don't do what it's told
Where the pines still burn
And the river bends slow
There's a piece of us
That never let go
We were young
And maybe the truest
Love like that don't die
Just moves through us
I heard you left in your daddy's car
Headed west, chasin' who you are
I stayed here with the smoke and rain
Still see your face in the windowpane
I think of you when the sky turns gray
Every backroad feels like yesterday
I carry the fire, even now
Don't know the why, but I remember the how
Some things fade but don't let go
Some roots run where we can't show
And some hearts burn like forest gold
Still warm in the ashes of growing old
Where the pines still burn
And the memories grow
We walk those woods
When the thunder's low
You were the spark
And I was the fuse
The fire went out
But I'm still burnin' for you
Still burning for you
