V4.5-ALL

[Intro]
[soft guitar, vinyl crackle]
(girl) Pull up slow
(boy) Leave your phone in the console, yeah

[Verse 1] (female)
 Red dust on your boots
Chocolate on the dash
Gas station roses
In a Sonic cup of trash
You laughed when I said
“This ain’t no movie scene”
But you wrote your number
On my hand like it was inked in me
(Male)
You in that thrift store dress
With the slit too high
Little gloss on your lip
Had me tongue-tied
Said, “I don’t text good
I talk face-to-face”
So I killed that playlist
Let the crickets fill the space (yeah)

[Chorus]
We just talked all night on Valentine’s
Tailgate throne in the pasture line
Moonlight pouring on your crossed-up legs
My hat on your knee, your hand on my neck
No gifts, no price tag, just your eyes in mine
Heartbeat keeping both our phones on silent time
We ain’t rushin’ nothin’, just you and I
Talkin’ all night on Valentine’s

[Verse 2] (female)
 You said your first truck
Died in ‘09
How your old man cracked
But he’s tryin’ to get it right
You hate red wine
Love fries in the seat
Got a scar on your chin
From a barbed-wire swing
(Male rap)
You said you write poems
In your notes app, scared
That you rhyme “love” with “above”
But you still don’t care
You got church on Sundays
But you cuss in the drive
You were scared to be seen
But you let me inside (yeah)
(Female rap)
We covered every ex
Every fight, every fear
Every “I don’t wanna cry”
But the tears came here
You said, “Damn, girl, breathe”
But I couldn’t slow down
My words chased yours
Like a train through town

[Bridge]
(Male rap)
From the first “hey, how you been?”
To the 4 a.m. “don’t let this end”
We were trading little secrets like a backroad bend
Every curve, every turn, you were more than a trend
You were barefoot truth on the truck bed steel
Kicked off heels, no filters, just real
If love is a word that we both been dodgin’
Why’s my chest feel like it’s all in, throbbin’? (hey!)

(Female rap)
Old school rhythm in my country bones
You the beat in my chest, the bass in my tone
I been praying for a man who can handle my storm
You just sat in the rain, said “I like you warm”
We ain’t kiss in a rush, we ain’t race that line
We just rhymed our lives ‘til the stars resigned
If this what slow love look like in time
Why we rappin’ this fast like we ‘bout to flatline?

[Outro]
[beat drops to finger snaps, soft guitar]
(boy) Sun came up
(girl) But we stayed parked
(both) Whole damn year
In that first-night talk (mmm)
