Broken Tailgate

[Verse 1]
You left your cap in my truck bed
Mud on the brim, red on the thread
I still see you on that porch step
Shoes in your hand, you never looked back

[Verse 2]
I keep the chain on the rearview
Your old key ring, one bent screw
Every time I turn that old road
It cuts like glass through the middle of my bones

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name one more time
Let it hit, let it land
I don't need a map, I need your hand
Come on back, come on back

[Chorus]
Come on back, come on back
Don't leave me with that crack
Come on back, come on back
I can hear it call me back
Back, back
I can hear it call me back

[Verse 3]
The gas station clerk knows your laugh
That same chain rattle, same cold stare
I act tough, then I fold fast
At the stop sign, in the middle of nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name one more time
Let it hit, let it land
I don't need a map, I need your hand
Come on back, come on back

[Chorus]
Come on back, come on back
Don't leave me with that crack
Come on back, come on back
I can hear it call me back
Back, back
I can hear it call me back

[Bridge]
If you're a ghost, then haunt this place
Scratch your name in the window frame
I got the engine and the ache
I got one more mile to chase

[Final Chorus]
Come on back, come on back
Don't leave me with that crack
Come on back, come on back
I can hear it call me back
Back, back
I can hear it call me back
Come on back, come on back
I can hear it call me back
