[Verse 1] I found a ticket in my coat For a town I never chose Blue plate diner on the road And a dog that knew my toes You asked me where I’m headed to I said, “Honestly, I don’t know” You laughed and handed me your fork Said, “Then eat first, let it grow” [Pre-Chorus] Now the window feels alive And my name sounds good in your mouth I don’t need a map tonight I just need your hand, no doubt [Chorus] Blue plate parade, blue plate parade I’m better when you call my name Blue plate parade, blue plate parade Keep it simple, keep it brave (Blue plate parade) Blue plate parade, blue plate parade [Verse 2] We spilled salt on the paper tray Made a little island there You drew a heart with your hot sauce Like you didn’t have a care The waitress said we looked too young To know the shape of staying put But you slid a lemon over Said, “Try this, it’s pretty good” [Pre-Chorus] Now the window feels alive And my name sounds good in your mouth I don’t need a map tonight I just need your hand, no doubt [Chorus] Blue plate parade, blue plate parade I’m better when you call my name Blue plate parade, blue plate parade Keep it simple, keep it brave (Blue plate parade) Blue plate parade, blue plate parade [Bridge] If the road turns mean again If my pockets start to fray Meet me where the coffee rings Turn the whole bad week away [Final Chorus] Blue plate parade, blue plate parade I’m better when you call my name Blue plate parade, blue plate parade Keep it simple, keep it brave (Blue plate parade) Blue plate parade, blue plate parade
