Front Seat of Your Heart

[Verse 1]
Met you at the county fair
Ring on your finger
Dust on your boots
You laughed, said, "Ma'am, it's been a long day"
I laughed right back
Too far, too fast, too soon
You talked 'bout your little boy
Her favorite song
That old front porch swing
I smiled like it didn't hurt
While every word
Pulled me in too deep
[Chorus]
I'm in the front seat of your heart
But the wheel ain't mine to hold
Got a highway full of feelings
With a dead-end painted "closed"
You take my hand in the dark
Then you go back to her arms
I'm fallin', fallin' for a married man
And it's tearing me apart
[Verse 2]
You call when the house goes quiet
Say you're just driving
Clearing your mind
I say I don't mind being lonely
But I'm lyin'
Every single time
I picture a kitchen light
Her in your T-shirt
Bare feet on tile
I'm just the secret between your shifts
A borrowed smile
On a borrowed night
[Chorus]
I'm in the front seat of your heart
But the wheel ain't mine to hold
Got a highway full of feelings
With a dead-end painted "closed"
You take my hand in the dark
Then you go back to her arms
I'm fallin', fallin' for a married man
And it's tearing me apart
[Bridge]
If you were mine
Would I trust you
After all the lines we've crossed?
If she knew my name
Would she hate me
Or just be glad I lost?
[Chorus]
I'm in the front seat of your heart
And I'm finally letting go
Gonna pull off at this exit
Watch your taillights fade to gold
You took my hand in the dark
But she always had your heart
I fell in love with a married man
Now I'm learning how to part
