Playing in the Radio

country songs on the jukebox .  a heart breaking country song.  I wrote 3 for my girl and she just taps her toes along.  Maybe someday she will hear  me , when I’m playing on the radio.  
My heart has been hers  for take all along.  
Verse 1
Country songs on the jukebox
Playin’ low against the wall
Neon light and cheap whiskey
Same old bar, same old call
I’ve been sittin’ here all evenin’
With a pen and a broken tune
Tryin’ to say what I can’t tell her
In a smoke-filled room
Pre-Chorus
I write it down, I sing it soft
I sing it hard, I sing it wrong
But she don’t hear the meaning
She just hears another song
Chorus
A heart breaking country song
Spinnin’ while the night rolls on
I wrote three for my girl
And she just taps her toes along
She don’t hear the ache inside
Don’t feel what I’m holdin’ on
It’s just another melody
To her, it’s just a song
Verse 2
I watched her smile at the rhythm
Like it don’t cut me in two
Every word I ever meant her
Hidin’ in a verse or two
She don’t know I’m bare and bleedin’
Every time I play it through
She don’t see me fall apart
When she hums along the tune
Pre-Chorus
I keep thinkin’ maybe one day
She’ll hear what I’m tryin’ to say
When my voice ain’t right beside her
When I’m farther away
Chorus
A heart breaking country song
Pourin’ out what I can’t explain
I wrote three for my girl
But they all just sound the same
She just taps her toes to time
Like it don’t cut me in two
Like my whole damn heart ain’t hangin’
On a note she’s hummin’ through
Bridge
Maybe someday she will hear me
When I’m playing on the radio
When I’m just a voice in the night
She don’t know, she don’t know
When I ain’t standin’ in her shadow
When I ain’t beggin’ her to stay
Maybe distance makes the truth ring louder
Than the words I couldn’t say
Break (soft)
I never hid my feelin’s
Never held a thing back
I laid it all out in the open
Every verse, every track
Final Chorus
Country songs on the jukebox
Still say what I can’t do
I wrote three for my girl
Tryin’ to tell her the truth
My heart has been hers for take all along
Every note, every scar
Maybe she’ll finally hear me
When I’m singin’ who we are
Outro
Country songs on the jukebox
Fade out with the night
If she ever hears this one
I hope it hits her right

heart-breaking honky-tonk country swing, jukebox tears and neon regrets, buil
