Dirt Road Heart

Dirt Road Heart [Verse 1] She said, “What you drive?” I said, “These boots” She flashed that diamond I showed my roots She scrolled her phone Followers lit I held my coffee Steam and grit [Chorus] You want a gold card I want a good heart You count them dollars I count my scars You chase the big crowd I chase the quiet stars Two crazy worlds apart But you love my dirt road heart [Verse 2] She said, “Five-star only” I packed a snack She posed for pictures I just kicked back She measured value in the price of a coat I measured value in staying afloat She checked the forecast on her phone's bright screen I felt the frost biting, real and mean [Chorus] You want a gold card I want a good heart You count them dollars I count my scars You chase the big crowd I chase the quiet stars Two crazy worlds apart But you love my dirt road heart [Bridge] The wind cut the street, she was shaking on the curb Shivering so hard she couldn't say a word I wrapped that scarf 'round her, wool and high-end She saw the label, said, "Leo, how much did you spend? This is a month of your rent, you're crazy, you know?" I said, "You were freezing, I didn't care about the dough. You needed that heat more than I needed a roof and a door." She started weeping, couldn't take any more She saw the gold in my heart, raw and pure [Chorus] You want a gold card I want a good heart You count them dollars I count my scars You chased the big crowd I stayed beneath the stars Now you’re here in my arms Mad in love with my dirt road heart [Outro] She’s done with the glitter, she’s done with the fake She saw the man with the gold heart, finally awake She’s clinging to me now, her head on my chest She said, "Leo, you're mine, and I will never let go of your gold heart, forget the rest" She’s madly in love, yeah, she’s losing her mind Leaving all that plastic and the money behind She’s screaming to the world that we’re never gonna part Madly in love with this dirt road heart Yeah, she’s mine and I'm hers Madly in love with this dirt road heart
