Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [muffled vinyl crackle, lone guitar figure] Mmh-mm Mmm-hmm, mm (yeah) She’s just hummin’ in the kitchen While my whole past plays back in rhythm [Verse 1] Red clay on my boots, dust on my name Cousin in a jumpsuit, court date set in May Mama at the table, Bible open to a page Daddy in the driveway, tryna swallow all his rage I grew up where the sirens sounded like a song Pickup in the driveway, engine always runnin’ wrong Ten dollars gas, but we’d burn it all night long Dreamin’ ’bout a life where we might finally belong [Chorus] And she hums to the hurt like a halo Soft little tune ’bout a way home Mmm-hmm, mm, ride slow Steerin’ through the pain on this gravel road Yeah, she hums to the hurt like a halo Eyes on the sky, sayin’ “stay close” Mmm-hmm, mm, I don’t know How she makes this broke-down house feel gold [Verse 2] I been chasin’ petty cash, credit card decline Rappin’ in the barn, swear I’m runnin’ outta time Friends droppin’ out, droppin’ pills, droppin’ dimes Graveyard on a hill with our childhood signs Sheriff at the door, said my brother crossed a line Mama gripped the counter, said “Lord, give me a sign” I was in the back room writin’ out another rhyme Feelin’ like a failure, couldn’t even hold the line [Pre-Chorus] Then I heard it from the kitchen, little broken melody Carried like a prayer on the steam from the beans Didn’t know the words but it wrapped around me Like, “Boy, you ain’t defined by these busted-up things” [Chorus] She hums to the hurt like a halo Soft little tune ’bout a way home Mmm-hmm, mm, ride slow Steerin’ through the pain on this gravel road Yeah, she hums to the hurt like a halo Eyes on the sky, sayin’ “stay close” Mmm-hmm, mm, I don’t know How she makes this broke-down house feel gold [Verse 3] Now I’m onstage, same boots, new town Still hear crickets every time the crowd gets loud Still see blue lights when the cameras flash around Still taste metal from the nights I hit the ground Phone lights up, it’s a call from home Daddy says he’s proud in a tired old tone Mama in the back, and I hear through the phone That same little hum I grew up on [Bridge] [beat drops to guitar and low bass, close vocal] Mmh-mm (keep goin’) Mmh-mm (I’m holdin’) Every scar on my hand got a verse inside Every mile from the farm got her hum as a guide Mmh-mm (ain’t fallin’) Mmh-mm (still crawlin’) When the past pull hard like a undertow tide Her wordless song keeps my heart upright [Final Chorus] She hums to the hurt like a halo Soft little tune ’bout a way home Mmm-hmm, mm, ride slow Steerin’ through the pain on this gravel road Yeah, she hums to the hurt like a halo Makes every cracked porch step feel holy, though Mmm-hmm, mm, I still go Chasin’ every dream with that sound in my soul [Outro] [guitar and humming fade] Mmh-mm Mmm-hmm, mm From the red dirt road to the front row lights I’m just followin’ that hum through the nights
