Lyrics
Verse
I wrote her name in the dust on the steelLike a kid with a secret he had to feelShe rolled her eyes but she didn’t say noAnd the highway took us wherever we’d go
Chorus
Her name on the tailgate, heart on my sleeveShe’s the only prayer I still believeHer name on the tailgate, love coming roundHer name on the tailgate, I’m still aroundcrowd singing along
Verse
We ate gas-station pie in a no-name townShe put her boots on the dash and the world slowed downI ain’t a poet but I know this muchA dusty tailgate can hold a crush
Chorus
Her name on the tailgate, heart on my sleeveShe’s the only prayer I still believeHer name on the tailgate, love coming roundHer name on the tailgate, I’m still aroundcrowd singing along
Verse
Car wash took the letters, I wrote them twiceShe shook her head like it wasn’t niceThen she wrote mine underneath in a smaller handThat’s when I knew I had a plan
Chorus
Her name on the tailgate, heart on my sleeveShe’s the only prayer I still believeHer name on the tailgate, love coming roundHer name on the tailgate, I’m still aroundcrowd singing along
Outro
Still there in my mindHer name on the tailgatecrowd singing along
