Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I been out by the mill

With mud on my boots

Two cans in the truck bed

And a Bible I don’t use

Mama said, boy

You sound like the storm

That old gravel in my throat

Keeps me coming home

[Pre-Chorus]

And I don’t talk pretty

I don’t sing clean

I got hard dirt seasons

Under my jeans

But when your name hits my lips

It goes right through me

Like a worn-out screen door

In the summer heat

[Chorus]

Gravel on my tongue

That’s the way I love

That’s the way I come

Gravel on my tongue

If I say your name

Baby, I’m undone

[Verse 2]

You were leaning on the tailgate

In your faded blue shirt

Kicking red clay

Off the heel of your work

You laughed like a window

Thrown open in June

And I felt that old highway

Turn around too soon

[Pre-Chorus]

I tried to play cool

Tried to keep it small

But your eyes hit the deep part

Past my southern drawl

Now I’m all rough edges

And slow-burning truth

Got a full tank of ache

When I’m thinking of you

[Chorus]

Gravel on my tongue

That’s the way I love

That’s the way I come

Gravel on my tongue

If I say your name

Baby, I’m undone

[Bridge]

Let the church bells ring

Let the rain come down

I was made for the hard roads

And the lost and found

If you need forever

I’m a cracked-back stone

But I’ll keep on calling

Till you bring me home

[Chorus]

Gravel on my tongue

That’s the way I love

That’s the way I come

Gravel on my tongue

If I say your name

Baby, I’m undone
