Smoke in his Stare

(Verse 1)

I rode too close

Now I can’t look away

A dark secret with a cowboys face

He reached for my hand

and the whole night went wrong

But the way he touched —made my whole world melt

(Pre-chorus)

I should’ve know better

That a man like that—

But my heart ran wild when he tipped his hat and smiled

(Chorus)

I should’ve turned away

Let him keep his shade

But when his silence pulled there was smoke in his stare

Then he said my name

Like he was already there

(Verse 2)

We met on that dead end road

Cross roads at our backs

His black hat down low and dice in his hands

Flashing his silver teeth

A scar on his face

His grin was a dare

A city boy with a cowboy hat

Me in worn out jeans

Boots covered in dust and hay

Silver spurs breaking into the night

(Pre-chorus)

Hard to get

Hard to hold

Silver buckle

Burning like a fuse in the cold

This cowgirl will wreck his game

He learned my silence my moves my patience

No grand casino promises

Just a slow burning thunder in our eyes

(Chorus)

I should’ve turned away

Let him keep his shade

But when his silence pulled

there was smoke in his stare

Then he said my name

Like he was already there

I laughed like a match in a dry grass field igniting a wildfire to melt our wild black hearts

galloping on that thick ice

Catch me if you can!

I can see through your smoke like an old worn out trench coat

(Pre-chorus)

Dust on my boots

Rain and lightning in his bones

Something wild tied up on the inside

Waiting for his escape

He lit the spark

I was the storm

When the hurricane rolled

We watched the whole world blow

(Chorus)

I should’ve turned away

Let him keep his shade

But when his silence pulled there was smoke in his stare

Then he said my name

Like he was already there

I rode too close

Now I can’t look away

A dark secret with a cowboys face

He reached for my hand and the whole night went wrong

But the way he touched made my whole world melt
