How Far

There's something in this late August air
I can feel Fall just on the other side
The dusty air is comin' down behind my old Ford
On the way home from your Daddy's house

My best friend says she knows you real well
But I still get nervous in your eyes
Don't know if I should stare too long
You just may get caught up in mine

And he works on cars all day long
Cuts grass for extra cash at night
He doesn't know how far I can't seem to go
Because I'm scared of tonight
And he holds my hand in the car
And plays country on the radio
I wonder if he can see in my eyes
How far I can't seem to go

A kiss goodnight on my driver's side
Doesn't seem like much in my age
But in late night prayers I can hope
This innocent trials can just stay

And pine trees line your gravel road
Like all the lines you start to say
You say "deny" but I know
You're just scared to fall in a craze

And he works on cars all day long
Cuts grass for extra cash at night
He doesn't know how far I can't seem to go
Because I'm scared of tonight
And he holds my hand in the car
And plays country on the radio
I wonder if he can see in my eyes
How far I can't seem to go

And I'm listening to Taylor Swift songs
Wondering if one could just be ours
I need a Southern fairy tale
A kiss as the rain pours

And he works on cars all day long
Cuts grass for extra cash at night
He doesn't know how far I can't seem to go
Because I'm scared of tonight
And he holds my hand in the car
And plays country on the radio
I wonder if he can see in my eyes
How far I can't seem to go

I just wonder if you'll push me
As far as I need to go
