More Than Friends

[Verse 1]
Quiet girl in the back of the room
Hair in a knot, head in a book
He rolled in late with a busted-up truck
Trouble in his grin, never cared how it looked
She watched him laugh like the rules meant nothin’
Thought, that boy’s fire, and my heart’s runnin’
[Chorus]
We were more than friends before we knew it
From a little side smile to a wild, I do, yeah
Who’d have guessed that the good girl, bad boy
Would turn into this whole life we enjoy
From a nervous first dance to this diamond on your hand
Baby, we were always more
More than friends
[Verse 2]
First date out on that red dirt road
Grease on his hands, her Sunday clothes
He said, “I ain’t much, but I’m yours if you’ll have me”
She just laughed, “Boy, you’re all that I’ll ever need”
Years flew by in a blink, in a breath
Now there’s toys in the yard and crumbs on the steps
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Little boots by the door, coffee on at dawn
Baby on your hip, my old shirt you’ve got on
He reads her that same worn-out book every night
She tucks him in, then we kill the lights
Look at us now, with this crazy crew
All that I wanted was always you
[Chorus]

country, Warm midtempo modern country with acoustic guitar and brushed drums under storytelling verses, male/female duet vocals trading lines. Chorus lifts with steel guitar swells, tambourine, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Subtle fiddle and organ pad fill the edges; final chorus adds ad-libs and a key lift for a feel-good, windows-down ending.
