Tailgate Deeper

Your boots by the door

Still got Georgia clay

Your name on my hand

Won't wash away

I found your flannel

In the back of my truck

Smells like hay and smoke

And a little bad luck

I keep saying I'm fine

With the county line

But every old road

Leads me back to you tonight

Tailgate deeper

Heartache slower

One more song

And I might come over

Tailgate deeper

Don't let go yet

If I'm gonna miss you

Let me miss you all the way

Your mama's church plate

Still sits in the sink

Sunburn on the dash

From that June down by the creek

The screen door slams

When the wind cuts through

Every little thing here

Keeps coming back to you

I keep saying I'm done

But the words don't fit

There's a half-drunk hope

In every place we sit

Tailgate deeper

Heartache slower

One more song

And I might come over

Tailgate deeper

Don't let go yet

If I'm gonna miss you

Let me miss you all the way

Maybe time moves on

Maybe goodbyes do too

But this old back road

Still remembers you

So I drive real slow

Past that river bend

If I can't have your love

I'll hold the night you left

Tailgate deeper

Heartache slower

One more song

And I might come over

Tailgate deeper

Don't let go yet

If I'm gonna miss you

Let me miss you all the way
