[Intro] [Riff] [Verse 1] The sun fell down behind the hill Dust on my boots, I’m standin’ still I drop my keys in the ashtray bowl Kick off the day, let the silence roll [Pre-Chorus] That old leather couch knows my name Whiskey’s burnin’ soft like rain [Chorus] Put the needle on my soul Let that vinyl take control The blues, the brass, the backbeat slow It’s how I end the days I know With a glass of gold and a groove that’s old Yeah, the night begins when the music flows [Verse 2] Curtains drawn, the lamp glows low Fingers drummin’ on the table slow That voice on wax—so sweet, so rough Makes the dark feel just enough [Pre-Chorus] No need to talk, no need to move Let the groove fix every bruise [Chorus] Put the needle on my soul Let that vinyl take control The hum, the crackle, the rolling moan Every note cuts to the bone With a glass of gold and a groove that’s bold Yeah, I come alive when the night takes hold [Interlude] [Bridge] It ain't the noise, it’s the weight it brings A scratched-up record that still sings No fast escape, just that slow release When rhythm pulls my mind to peace [Final Chorus] Put the needle on my soul One more track before I go Just a man, a glass, and the stereo Feelin’ low, but ridin' slow With a voice like smoke and a groove that’s cold Yeah, this is where I feel whole [Outro]
