The way you say my name
Drove trucks for eleven years and writes like someone with time to think and no radio

lyrics
You say my name like a back road bend Like you found a truth my mama never penned By the screen door light, with the porch board creak You make two old syllables sound clean and sweet At the feed store line and the county fair Even the old men stop and stare 'Cause your mouth takes the hard edge off And I lean in closer when you talk The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name On a paper cup at the truck stop sink You leave that little bend on the final drink In the Kroger lot by the rain-black tar You draw me near like a cheap motel guitar Your voice hits soft where mine runs straight Turns a plain old word to a heavier weight And I catch myself on the way back home Wanting that sound when the house is gone The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name Thursday night, radiator ticks Mason jar on the windowsill You call me in from the drive And the whole room goes still The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name The way you say my name
