Verse 1:
Cornsilk threads through my callused hands
Sweat drips, mixin' with dirt on this land
Mama's old radio crackles and hums
As the combine's engine thrums
Pre-Chorus:
Heart racin' like a V8 engine
Waitin' for her to appear
Chorus:
Where the hell are you, Emily?
Beneath this goddamn tree
Said you'd be here, cuttin' corn with me
Where the hell are you, Emily?
Verse 2:
Fireflies dance in the fadin' light
Bitterberries stain my Levi's
Diesel fumes and fresh-cut grass
Minutes crawl by like molasses
Pre-Chorus:
Knuckles white on my pocket knife
As shadows grow long and dark
Verse 3:
Coyote's howl echoes 'cross the field
My hope's as crushed as corn under steel
Blood red moon rises overhead
Wishin' I was home in my feather bed
Pre-Chorus:
Gravel crunches under tires
My heart stops as headlights appear
