Verse 1:
We were two sparks in a neon night
Boots on the floor, hearts feelin’ right
You smiled like a song I’d heard before
Then you pulled me close on that old dance floor
Pre-Chorus:
Your touch had a rhythm, smooth like wine
A little bit country, a little Marvin Gaye in the lines
Chorus:
Baby, this is a slow burn love
Like a backroad beat with a funky strut
You got that twang in your kiss, that pop in your touch
And I can’t get enough of this slow burn love
Spinnin’ round in your arms, under moonlight above
It’s a country soul groove, yeah, a slow burn love
Verse 2:
You got a heart that shines like a Tennessee sun
A laugh like a melody that’s just begun
You whisper sweet things in a Motown key
Now the whole world fades when you’re dancin’ with me
Pre-Chorus:
Girl, your love’s got flavor, smooth and bold
Like a southern breeze with a little Curtis Mayfield soul
Chorus:
Baby, this is a slow burn love
Like a backroad beat with a funky strut
You got that twang in your kiss, that pop in your touch
And I can’t get enough of this slow burn love
Spinnin’ round in your arms, under moonlight above
It’s a country soul groove, yeah, a slow burn love
Bridge:
Let the band go low, let the stars shine bright
Just you and me, girl, holdin’ on all night
Every step’s a spark, every smile’s a fire
You light me up like a string of desire
Final Chorus:
Yeah, this is a slow burn love
Like a front porch swing and a funked-up strut
You got me lost in your rhythm, deep in your touch
And I’m never givin’ up this slow burn love
Forever in your arms, with the heavens above
It’s a country soul groove, oh, this slow burn love
Outro (softly with bass and pedal steel):
Ooh, this slow… burn… love…
Girl, you’re my slow… burn… love…
