there’s a girl in the middle of the country
and she swears she loves me most
i’m just one more boy with a shaky voice
trying to chase those same old roads
but she says “slow down lover, you move too fast.
i don’t need another man stepping on my tracks.”

well i’m fortunate as ever never dreamt of better
now i’m just sore cause my heart was never really ready
to hold all of the things that i’ve adored about your body
the beautiful way you sing
when you’re gone i see you in everything

and i got a low shoulder
you should come over
rest your head right next to me
yeah pull over come on lover get closer
let me show your lonely heart some company

dark glass wine bottle
spring white flowers all in bloom
i haven’t touched a thing
since that morning you left my bedroom
i watched you go get on that plane
you think it might but life doesn’t feel the same

bicycle chain snags at you
like an old refrain up in your head
a melody plays for miles
lyrics beg to bring you back again
so pass that whiskey come on kiss me it’s summer time
when you’re gone i miss you every night

well i’m tired of empty handed love
yeah it’s a gift when you signal for my exit
back roads bring you back in the moment
i want you back in the moment
