[Verse 1] You walked in slow through a cloud of dust Friday night and neon rust Boots on the floor like a train on tracks Whole room turned just like that Bartender dropped a glass mid-pour Old men forgot what they came in for Even the jukebox skipped a beat When you crossed that broken street [Pre-Chorus] And I ain’t a poet Ain’t smooth or witty But Lord have mercy... [Chorus] Damn you’re pretty Like sunset fire on an old tin city Like wildflowers growin’ through the dirt and grit Damn you’re pretty and you know it a little bit You got stars in your laugh Gold in your eyes Whole room spinning when you walk by Yeah the moon got jealous in the midnight sky Damn you’re pretty tonight [Verse 2] You danced alone like you owned the band Spinning whiskey in your hand Singing every line half outta key Still sounded perfect to me Cowboy hat and a rebel grin Kind that drags a fool right in I should run but I won’t even try Some roads are worth the ride [Pre-Chorus] And I ain’t complaining If this gets risky Girl pour another round [Chorus] Damn you’re pretty Like roadside roses and gasoline city Like a long black train and a six-string hymn Damn you’re pretty oughta be a sin You got sparks in your step Smoke on your lips Heartbeats sinkin’ like a riverboat drift Every lonely soul wants one dance with this Damn you’re pretty tonight [Bridge] [Solo section – slide guitar and warm organ swelling underneath] Maybe heaven ain’t a place above Maybe it’s dust, and noise, and love Maybe it’s standing in a roadside bar Looking at you like a fool in the dark [Final Chorus] Damn you’re pretty Like old-school vinyl sounding warm and gritty Like small-town nights that never quite die Like a slow train rolling through July You got lightning hiding under your skin Whole world stops when you walk in And if loving you’s trouble, let trouble begin Damn you’re pretty tonight [Outro] Yeah the moon got jealous And the neon glowed blue Whole damn town looked better Standing next to you
