Bum around the house waiting for a ride
Shout out my name when you pull up outside
Leave more pain behind with each town we pass
The road sodas are on me if you can drive real fast

Drive me down to the river on the golden hour

There's someone I don't wanna be living in my mind
But everybody's got something they wanna leave behind
You'll be the empty cans laying at my feet
I'll be the dead dog laying out in the hot summer heat

I leave my shirt on the shore, trade in all my regrets
I got a couple of years to forget
Kick the dust off of the little things I won
With a smile made of paper hiding out on my tongue

Saw all the friends I lost standing up on the bridge
We'll waste the whole day in the Sun and just smoke and bitch
Kiss your crooked teeth, the trestle of your grin
A monument to a world worth living in

Drive me down to the river on the golden hour

Let the red wine go ahead and stain my shirt
Let this river wash away all my God damned hurt
Let the Sun sink low and the day roll past
And just think about how I never get the moment back

I hope you know you don't owe nobody nothing
I hope you know just how much I believe in you
How your friends light up when you walk in the room
And the joy and the love to see you live your truth

Drive me down to the river on the golden hour
