[Verse 1] I found your name on an old receipt Folded up in my jacket sleeve From the night we drove past the county line And you said you were fine You laughed at the rain on the windshield I kept both hands on the wheel Now the glove box smells like gasoline And a memory I can't clean [Pre-Chorus] Every town has a corner Where a lie turns to stone I still pass yours Like I'm coming back home [Chorus] I'm still hearing that paper bell When you said my name I'm still hearing that paper bell In the pouring rain It rings and it rings Till I shake my head Paper bell You don't ring out yet [Verse 2] Your brother's boat sits in dry dock Rust on the trailer tongue Your mama waves from a front porch fan Like a song left unsung I learned how to carry sorrow Like a lunch pail and a dented key But some nights it carries me Back where you used to be [Pre-Chorus] Every town has a corner Where a lie turns to stone I still pass yours Like I'm coming back home [Chorus] I'm still hearing that paper bell When you said my name I'm still hearing that paper bell In the pouring rain It rings and it rings Till I shake my head Paper bell You don't ring out yet [Bridge] If I called, would you answer? If I stayed, would I leave? We were young as that white church steeple And twice as hard to believe [Final Chorus] I'm still hearing that paper bell When you said my name I'm still hearing that paper bell In the pouring rain It rings and it rings Till I shake my head Paper bell You don't ring out yet
