Backdoor to My Heart

Ashtray on the counter

Coffee gone cold

You left your sweater

But took my hope

Door still creaks

Like it’s sayin’ your name

Guess this old house

Still plays our game

You got a backdoor to my heart

You slip in every night

Boots off in the dark

I can’t turn on the light

Told my friends I’m movin’ on

But you still park inside my bones

You got a backdoor to my heart

And I can’t change the locks alone

Same old record

Stuck in that groove

Your shadow dancin’

Across this room

You ain’t here

But your ghost sure is

Livin’ on the rim

Of every kiss

You got a backdoor to my heart

You slip in every night

Boots off in the dark

I can’t turn on the light

Told my friends I’m movin’ on

But you still park inside my bones

You got a backdoor to my heart

And I can’t change the locks alone

One day I’ll board it up

Fresh paint

Brand new key (oh yeah)

But every time I reach that door

You’re standin’ there

Smilin’ back at me

You got a backdoor to my heart

You slip in every night

Boots off in the dark

I can’t turn on the light

Told my friends I’m movin’ on

But you still park inside my bones

You got a backdoor to my heart

And I can’t change the locks alone
