Verse 1
Late July heat still hangin’ in the air
Truck idlin’, radio somewhere between a prayer
She said she wasn’t stayin’, just stoppin’ by
But she don’t park like she’s in a hurry tonight
Cutoffs frayed, tan line on her skin
She knows every way to pull me in
Says, “Boy, don’t look at me like that”
But she don’t turn away
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been walkin’ a line my whole damn life
Tryin’ to choose what feels right
⸻
Chorus
My rifle’s locked in the backseat
Bible still sittin’ on the dash
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
She tastes like smoke when summers in
Burns goin’ down, like her cheap gin
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
⸻
Verse 2
Bonfire crackle, boots in the dirt
Her laugh hittin’ me worse than the hurt
She leans in close like she’s testin’ me
That’s that look that’ll never leave
She don’t say a single word
Just slips her hand in mine
I know the morning’s comin’ fast
But I’m still takin’ my time
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Mama says I’ll learn someday
Lord knows I ain’t there yet
⸻
Chorus
My rifle’s locked in the backseat
Bible still sittin’ on the dash
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
She tastes like smoke when summers in
Burns goin’ down, like her cheap gin
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
⸻
Bridge
I’ll swear this is the last damn time
Say her name like it’s a sin
But she fits right into my arms
Like she’s always been
If heaven’s watchin’ tonight
They already know the truth
I ain’t losin’ sleep over wrong or right
I’m just losin’ myself with you
⸻
Final Chorus
My rifle’s locked in the backseat
Bible still sittin’ on the dash
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
She tastes like smoke when summers in
Burns goin’ down, like her cheap gin
I know damn well which one I need
But I know which one I’ll grab
⸻
Outro
Yeah…
I know which one I’ll grab
