lyrics

He shut the truck door soft at ten

I folded my hands and looked ahead

Your coffee cup rolled in the floorboard seam

We left the porch light burning red

You kept one hand on the wheel all night

I watched your thumb on that worn-out seam

We crossed the bridge by the feed store sign

And never had to name a thing

Tires hummed on the county blacktop

Your old hood buzzed in the cold

I knew by the way you breathed beside me

This kind of quiet was gold

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

We don't need words to get home

At the red light by the tractor lot

You tapped the dash with two steady beats

I saw your boots and my work gloves

Beneath the glow of the dash heat

Past the Shell and the Dollar General

Past the rows of cut hay bales

We let the map and the miles go by

Like loose change in a Mason jar trail

Tires hummed on the county blacktop

Your old hood buzzed in the cold

I knew by the way you breathed beside me

This kind of quiet was gold

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

We don't need words to get home

By the mailbox with the bent tin flag

You smiled like you'd said enough

I touched your sleeve and you touched my knee

And that was all of it, love

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

Keep it slow

We don't need words to get home
