[Verse 1] You came in wet from the rain With that old dime-store smile Left my hard luck in the doorway Made my whole chest go mild Your hands knew where to rest Like they’d been there before I was all busted and restless You were the key in my door [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to act cool Tried to play it slow But you look at me once And baby, I know [Chorus] Red clay love It sticks to my skin Red clay love Pull me back in Red clay love Sweet as it feels Red clay love You make me real [Verse 2] Now your cup on my table Your coat by the chair Two hard heads in the candle glow Somehow we meet there You laugh like a Sunday choir I breathe like a prayer When the whole world goes heavy You still meet me there [Pre-Chorus] And I tried to act cool Tried to play it slow But you look at me once And baby, I know [Chorus] Red clay love It sticks to my skin Red clay love Pull me back in Red clay love Sweet as it feels Red clay love You make me real [Bridge] If the road gets rough And the nights run long Hold my face, hold on I’ll hold you strong Let the hurt fall off Like the summer rain You and me, baby We learn love through pain [Final Chorus] Red clay love It sticks to my skin Red clay love Pull me back in Red clay love Sweet as it feels Red clay love You make me real Red clay love Stay where you are Red clay love You’re my best part
