[Verse 1] I came in low through the back door Boots full of red clay dust You were leaning on the jukebox Like you knew I’d show up My name on your tongue like danger Your grin had a ragged edge I took one look at that trouble And I stepped right over the ledge [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Say it slow If you want smoke You better hold that rope [Chorus] Black velvet road Take me home Black velvet road I don’t go alone Black velvet road Let it burn, let it roll (Black velvet road) Right through my soul [Verse 2] Your hands talk loud in the dark room Mine answer back with a shake That old floorboards started trembling When we made the whole place wake The band room laughed through the speakers The walls got wet with sound You threw me a look like a match strike And I let that spark come down [Pre-Chorus] Say my name Say it mean If you want this fire You better feed that machine [Chorus] Black velvet road Take me home Black velvet road I don’t go alone Black velvet road Let it burn, let it roll (Black velvet road) Right through my soul [Bridge] [Organ and slide trade-offs] You pull, I pull Too close, too wild Your touch like thunder My grin like a knife [Chorus] Black velvet road Take me home Black velvet road I don’t go alone Black velvet road Let it burn, let it roll (Black velvet road) Right through my soul [Outro] Black velvet road Yeah, I know that line Black velvet road And it’s already mine (Black velvet road)
