Lyrics
Verse 1
You were nursing a beer like it owed you rentLeaning on the jukebox, looking heaven-sentI told my friend, “Watch this,” and fixed my hairWalked over like I owned the empty chair
Pre‑Chorus
I said, “Howdy, stranger, don’t take this wrongBut you’ve been handsome by yourself too long”You laughed so hard you nearly missed your sipI said, “Good, now I know you’ve got a sense of it”
Chorus
I’m just making a bold introductionNo, I don’t need a formal invitationIf your name’s Jack, I’ll call you troubleIf it ain’t, I’ll still pour you one doubleI came in here with a little bit of nerveYou look like somebody I deserveSo slide on over, let’s skip the small talkI’ve got a hello that can barely walk
Verse 2
You said, “Do you always talk to strangers this way?”I said, “Only the ones who make me wait”You looked at my boots, I looked at your grinSaid, “Darlin’, I’m already three questions in”
Pre‑Chorus
The bartender winked, the band struck goldYou asked if my confidence came factory-installedI said, “No, it’s custom, runs on cheap red wineAnd a bad idea at closing time”
Chorus
I’m just making a bold introductionNo, I don’t need a formal invitationIf your name’s Jack, I’ll call you troubleIf it ain’t, I’ll still pour you one doubleI came in here with a little bit of nerveYou look like somebody I deserveSo slide on over, let’s skip the small talkI’ve got a hello that can barely walk
Bridge
Maybe I’m forward, maybe I’m braveMaybe I’m saving us both from a night misbehavedYou said, “What happens if I say no?”I said, “I’ll tell that joke to the cowboy by the door”
Breakdown
But you said, “Honey, don’t you move”And pulled that empty chair in close to you
Final Chorus
I’m just making a bold introductionTurns out you like a little interruptionIf your name’s Jack, I’ll call you troubleNow you’re buying both of us a doubleI came in here with a little bit of nerveYou look like somebody I deserveSo slide on over, let’s skip the small talkThat hello just learned how to walk
Outro
Bold introduction, sweetest mistakeOne brave little step and a heart to take
