[Verse 1] We rolled in off the county road Her dress caught light in the corner glow She smiled at me, then looked away When that other guy had things to say He leaned too close with a greasy grin Tried to pour her drink and talk her in I saw her hand on the glass go tense So I moved in from the other end [Pre-Chorus] I kept it cool, took one slow step Read her eyes and I got the rest She said, "Baby, don't let it slide" So I set my jaw and stayed by her side [Chorus] Hands off her, brother, back on up She came in with me, that should be enough Hands off her, you hear me clear She ain't your game and she ain't your beer Hands off her, let her be I'm the one she came here with tonight Hands off her, step aside [Verse 2] He laughed too loud, said, "I was just playin'" But her smile had gone to a thin-line fade I said, "Buddy, save it for someone else" 'Cause she don't need you helping herself He tried one more with a sideways lean I put my arm where it needed to be Not a fist, just a line in sand With a calm voice and an open hand [Pre-Chorus] I kept it cool, took one slow step Read her eyes and I got the rest She said, "Baby, don't let it slide" So I set my jaw and stayed by her side [Chorus] Hands off her, brother, back on up She came in with me, that should be enough Hands off her, you hear me clear She ain't your game and she ain't your beer Hands off her, let her be I'm the one she came here with tonight Hands off her, step aside [Bridge] Now the room got small, and the noise got thin He saw my stance and he backed right in She reached for my hand, let out a breath I gave her a look like, "You good now, yes?" He tipped his cap and headed for the door Didn't have much fight once he knew the score She leaned in close with a grateful grin Said, "That right there is why I brought you in" [Final Chorus] Hands off her, brother, back on up She came in with me, that should be enough Hands off her, you hear me clear She ain't your game and she ain't your beer Hands off her, let her be I'm the one she came here with tonight Hands off her, step aside Hands off her, step aside
