[Verse 1]
You were barefoot on the dash
Red clay dust on your calves
Laughing at the way I drove too fast
Said
"You ever gonna quit this town?"
I shrugged it off
Stared straight ahead
You rolled the window down
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my heart in the glovebox
You kept your hand on the door
We were always halfway leaving
Halfway wanting more
[Chorus]
If you want me
I’ll be right by you
Through the wrecks
Through the wild
Through the hard truth
I might stall
I might stall
But I’ll come through
I was made
I was made to stand by you
If it breaks me clean in two
I’ll be right by you
[Verse 2]
You cried once in the Walmart lot
Phone light ghosting on your face
Said your mama swore you’d waste your shot
If you hitched it to my name
I just held your shaking shoulders
Felt the weight I never claimed
[Pre-Chorus]
You said
"Baby
Are we foolish?
Or are we something they fear?"
I said
"I don't know where we’re going
I just know I'm staying here"
[Chorus]
If you want me
I’ll be right by you
Through the wrecks
Through the wild
Through the hard truth
I might stall
I might stall
But I’ll come through
I was made
I was made to stand by you
If it breaks me clean in two
I’ll be right by you
[Bridge]
Years from now in some small kitchen
Unpaid bills and busted chairs
If you look at me and question
If I ever even cared
I’ll say
"Every wrong turn
Every late night
Led me right back to this view"
Every version of my life
Still ends up next to you (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
If you want me
I’ll be right by you
Through the wrecks
Through the wild
Through the hard truth
I might stall
I might stall
But I’ll come through
I was made
I was made to stand by you
If it breaks me clean in two
I’ll be right by you
Yeah
It all comes back to you
I’ll be right by you
