(Verse 1)
Yeah, truck tires on the gravel, dust is kicking high
Got the engine rumbling low beneath the open sky
Radio's humming, but the signal’s weak
Just static and the memory of the words you speak
You got that sweet tea smile, that southern drawl
But I see the writing on the gas station wall
You lookin' for a good time, not a forever man
Just a blue-collar boy doin' all he can
You wear them cutoff jeans and that worn-out hat
Got me feeling high on the hog, laid out flat
I know the game, girl, I ain't dumb
Waiting on the day when the hammer comes
(Chorus)
So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string
Run your fingers down every single string
Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune
Underneath the glow of that harvest moon
You pull me in close, then you push me away
Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day
I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast
Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last
Yeah, play me, girl.
(Verse 2)
You got me spinning 'round faster than a tilt-a-whirl
The prettiest mistake in my whole wide world
Sipping whiskey neat, watchin green eyes gleam
Another broken promise, another busted dream
You got that city slicker look when you dress up nice
But you got the heart of a gambler rolling the dice
I should be walking off, kicking up the sand
But I’m stuck right here, eating from your hand
You're a smooth operator, a real sharp thief
Stealing all my time, causing all my grief
Got a million reasons to just say "bye"
But I'm watching that tail light fade, wondering why
(Chorus)
So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string
Run your fingers down every single string
Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune
Underneath the glow of that harvest moon
You pull me in close, then you push me away
Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day
I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast
Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last
Yeah, play me, girl.
(Bridge)
The sun goes down on this dusty old town
And I’m just waiting for you to come 'round
I know it's a lie, I know it's a show
But I can't find the strength to let you go
It's a bitter pill, but the taste is sweet
Dancing to the rhythm of your two-timing beat
(Verse 3)
Yeah, stack the chips, I'm all in tonight
Even though I know you ain't doing me right
Every text you send me is a fishin' line
Reelin' in this heart, thinking it's all fine
I know you're trouble, a beautiful wreck
With your boot on my heart, your hand on my neck
It's a country song cliche, a rap verse sad and true
Just a backroad boy getting played by you
(Chorus)
So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string
Run your fingers down every single string
Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune
Underneath the glow of that harvest moon
You pull me in close, then you push me away
Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day
I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast
Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last
Yeah, play me, girl.
