[Verse 1]
You showed up late with the dust still on your boots
Leaning by the doorway like you had nothing to lose
I had a list of reasons, every one of them true
Then you smiled across the room and I forgot what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
I can draw the line, I can swear I’m done
But when you say my name, I come undone
[Chorus]
I can’t tell you no, not tonight
Not when your hand finds mine just right
I can turn away, but I won’t let go
You know the road back home, and I can’t tell you no
[Verse 2]
Your old blue jacket’s hanging on my kitchen chair
Your truck is by the fence like it belongs out there
We argue over nothing, then laugh until we’re tired
Every little spark still lands where the heart gets wired
[Pre-Chorus]
I can lock the door, I can kill the light
But you’re already in my head all night
[Chorus]
I can’t tell you no, not tonight
Not when your hand finds mine just right
I can turn away, but I won’t let go
You know the road back home, and I can’t tell you no
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re a little reckless, maybe that’s the truth
Maybe every wrong turn keeps leading me to you
If loving you is trouble, let the whole town know
I’ve got one answer waiting, and I can’t tell you no
[Final Chorus]
I can’t tell you no, not tonight
Not when your hand finds mine just right
I can turn away, but I won’t let go
You know the road back home, and I can’t tell you no
I can’t tell you no, so take me slow
You know the road back home, and I can’t tell you no
[Outro]
No, I can’t tell you no
