County Line Criminal

[Verse 1] I dropped my bag right inside the door Still wearin’ last night on my mind like before Boots by the wall, keys in the dish Tryin’ real hard to forget he exists But every little quiet in this house I swear Turns into him leanin’ in close right there That rooftop smile, that careless way He said my name like it wasn’t a game ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I told myself I was fine Told myself I was strong Funny how one night Can prove you wrong ⸻ [Chorus] County line criminal You crossed into my mind Left no warning, no apology No alibi You didn’t steal my money Didn’t break no laws I see But you went and stole my focus And that feels criminal to me Yeah, you’re a county line criminal And I can’t get you gone ⸻ [Verse 2] My phone lights up, it ain’t him But I still check it just to pretend Like maybe he’ll say something dumb Like “had fun last night, you wanna, uh,..do it again?” And I hate how I replay it all Every laugh, every careless call Like I wasn’t the one who said “Bet you won’t get in my head” ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m pacing this kitchen floor Like I lost somethin’ I can’t ignore And I don’t even know what I’m mad about Except he won’t leave me out ⸻ [Chorus] County line criminal You crossed into my mind Left no warning, no apology No alibi You didn’t steal my money Didn’t break no laws I see But you went and stole my focus And that feels criminal to me Yeah, you’re a county line criminal And I can’t get you gone ⸻ [Bridge – softer, honest] Maybe it wasn’t him at all Maybe I let down the wall Maybe I liked the way it felt To not be so damn careful And that’s the part I can’t admit That I might’ve been the one who slipped Not him sneakin’ in my life But me unlockin’ it ⸻ [Final Chorus – bigger, more emotional] County line criminal You crossed into my mind Now you’re settin’ up residence I didn’t authorize You didn’t steal my money Didn’t break no laws I see But you went and stole my silence And that feels criminal to me Yeah, you’re a county line criminal And I can’t get you gone ⸻ [Outro – spoken / half-sung] I should be mad at you… But I think I’m just mad That I’m not.
