Creepn’ On My Mind

[Verse 1]
Bare feet on the front porch
Moon stuck in the old pine sky
Phone screen say you “working late”
But that story don’t quite fly
Lipstick on a wrinkled napkin
Name scribbled
I can’t read why
You kiss me with them tired excuses
And think this hurt gon’ just slide by
[Chorus]
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind
Heart say stay
But my pride hit rewind
I keep slippin’ down that same old line
(yaahoooo)
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind
[Verse 2]
Your keys rattle at 3 in the morning
Cologne loud
Like it tryna confess
You mumble ‘bout a late night poker
But your eyes spelling out her address
I play blind
Pour another bourbon
Let the ice tell the truth instead
If love is just a card you’re hiding
Why your guilt screaming red on red
[Chorus]
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind
Heart say stay
But my pride hit rewind
I keep slippin’ down that same old line
(yaahoooo)
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind
[Bridge]
One step to the doorway
One step to your arms
I’m stuck in this hallway
Between mercy and alarm
If I leave
I lose my history
If I stay
I lose myself
Tell me which is better
Baby
Lonely love or lonely health
[Chorus]
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind
Heart say stay
But my pride hit rewind
I keep slippin’ down that same old line
(yaahoooo, oh)
You got me creepn’
Creepn’ on my mind

Slow-burning blues-soul groove with female vocals; swampy slide guitar gliding around a dusty Rhodes, thick bass walking lazily under a brushed snare. Verse sits smoky and close, then the chorus lifts with stacked gospel-style harmonies and a gritty organ swell. Occasional call-and-response ad-libs and a short, raw slide lick between phrases to keep it earthy and live., soul, blues
