Tailgate In The Rain

[Verse 1]
I parked by the fence line
Mud on my boots again
Your truck was still there
By the feed store pen
You laughed through the window
Like you knew I'd come around
I held that same old smile
And I asked you to sit down

[Pre-Chorus]
The rain started tapping
On the hood like a song
You looked at my hands
Then you looked too long
I said, "I was foolish"
You said, "That's not new"
Then you reached across
Like you always do

[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Let that old hurt break
Let it fall off quiet
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the world keeps turning
We can let it pass us by

[Verse 2]
We drove past the ball field
Past the bent-out sign
Past the porch with the peeling paint
And the clothesline line
You turned up the radio
Then turned it right back down
Said, "I don't need answers"
"I just need you around"

[Pre-Chorus]
The rain kept on fading
To a softer sound
You rested your head
On the seatback down
I said, "If I can do better"
You said, "Then start right here"
So I pulled that old ring box
From the glovebox near

[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Let that old hurt break
Let it fall off quiet
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the world keeps turning
We can let it pass us by

[Bridge]
No grand speech
No perfect line
Just your hand in mine
And the salt in my eyes
If tomorrow comes cold
We'll face it clean
But right now, baby
Just lean on me

[Chorus]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Let that old hurt break
Let it fall off quiet
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
If the world keeps turning
We can let it pass us by

[Outro]
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Under that gray sky
We're finally all right
