Playing in the Radio

country songs on the jukebox . a heart breaking country song. I wrote 3 for my girl and she just taps her toes along. Maybe someday she will hear me , when I’m playing on the radio.

My heart has been hers for take all along.

Verse 1

Country songs on the jukebox

Playin’ low against the wall

Neon light and cheap whiskey

Same old bar, same old call

I’ve been sittin’ here all evenin’

With a pen and a broken tune

Tryin’ to say what I can’t tell her

In a smoke-filled room

Pre-Chorus

I write it down, I sing it soft

I sing it hard, I sing it wrong

But she don’t hear the meaning

She just hears another song

Chorus

A heart breaking country song

Spinnin’ while the night rolls on

I wrote three for my girl

And she just taps her toes along

She don’t hear the ache inside

Don’t feel what I’m holdin’ on

It’s just another melody

To her, it’s just a song

Verse 2

I watched her smile at the rhythm

Like it don’t cut me in two

Every word I ever meant her

Hidin’ in a verse or two

She don’t know I’m bare and bleedin’

Every time I play it through

She don’t see me fall apart

When she hums along the tune

Pre-Chorus

I keep thinkin’ maybe one day

She’ll hear what I’m tryin’ to say

When my voice ain’t right beside her

When I’m farther away

Chorus

A heart breaking country song

Pourin’ out what I can’t explain

I wrote three for my girl

But they all just sound the same

She just taps her toes to time

Like it don’t cut me in two

Like my whole damn heart ain’t hangin’

On a note she’s hummin’ through

Bridge

Maybe someday she will hear me

When I’m playing on the radio

When I’m just a voice in the night

She don’t know, she don’t know

When I ain’t standin’ in her shadow

When I ain’t beggin’ her to stay

Maybe distance makes the truth ring louder

Than the words I couldn’t say

Break (soft)

I never hid my feelin’s

Never held a thing back

I laid it all out in the open

Every verse, every track

Final Chorus

Country songs on the jukebox

Still say what I can’t do

I wrote three for my girl

Tryin’ to tell her the truth

My heart has been hers for take all along

Every note, every scar

Maybe she’ll finally hear me

When I’m singin’ who we are

Outro

Country songs on the jukebox

Fade out with the night

If she ever hears this one

I hope it hits her right
