Lyrics
Verse 1
You came in wearing my old denim jacketDust on your boots from the county lineSet your glass down, gave me that crooked smileAnd every bad road started looking fineI was headed west with a tank half emptyYou were saving quarters by the jukebox lightNow your hand is warm against my shoulderAnd I don't care where we spend the night
Pre‑Chorus
Let the screen door slam, let the whole room knowThere's a little more truth in the way we go
Chorus
Come on, honey, hold me closeYou're the one thing I want mostTwo-step turning, hearts wide openSay my name and keep me hopingHey now, darling, don't let goWe've got nowhere else to goIf loving you is breaking rulesThen baby, let them call us fools
Verse 2
Your mama says I talk too recklessMy brother says you run too wildBut you kiss me behind the feed-store awningLike a couple of kids getting away with something worthwhileWe bought peaches at the roadside standSplit one sitting on the hoodYou wiped the juice from my bottom lipAnd made a hard life feel this good
Pre‑Chorus
Let the band wind down, let the glasses ringI ain't afraid of a single thing
Chorus
Come on, honey, hold me closeYou're the one thing I want mostTwo-step turning, hearts wide openSay my name and keep me hopingHey now, darling, don't let goWe've got nowhere else to goIf loving you is breaking rulesThen baby, let them call us fools
Bridge
If tomorrow takes the money and the truck won't startI'll still find your fingers in the darkNo silver buckle, no promised landJust your palm fitting in my hand
Final Chorus
Come on, honey, hold me closeYou're the one thing I want mostTwo-step turning, hearts wide openSay my name and keep me hopingHey now, darling, don't let goWe've got nowhere else to goIf loving you is breaking rulesThen baby, let them call us fools
Outro
Let them call us foolsLet them call us foolsYour hand in mine, and that's the truth
