[Verse]
Just me sitting here on this tailgate
Moonlight spilling across the lake
The crickets are chirping, the night is still
But my heart’s restless, girl, against my will
[Verse 2]
I've got my boots dusted with a long day's road
The starry sky’s like silver on an old, dark coat
This old truck’s seen as much as I’ve been through
But tonight it sits heavy, 'cause I’m missing you
[Chorus]
Girl, it’s quiet out here, but loud in my chest
Your love was the best thing, better than the rest
Now it’s just me and this tailgate, nothing feels true
Just a country boy, lost thinking about you
[Verse 3]
There’s a six-pack sitting in my cooler by my side
But it don't taste right without you and that old smile
The pines spread their arms like they’re sheltering me
But there’s no escape from what I feel, girl, can’t you see?
[Bridge]
I hear the coyotes howling through the trees
And the night wind whispers softly on the breeze
But no matter their song, it don’t compare
To the sound of your voice when you were there
[Chorus]
Girl, it’s quiet out here, but loud in my chest
Your love was the best thing, better than the rest
Now it’s just me and this tailgate, nothing feels true
Just a country boy, lost thinking about you
