Backroad Bedroom Light

[Verse 1]
Door clicks shut
Old jeans, dust and sweat
Your perfume on my T-shirt
A taste I can’t forget
You laugh, say “kill the lamp”
But you’re shining in my eyes
Bare feet on the hardwood
Heart running wild
[Chorus]
I wanna love you hard tonight
Every kiss, every sigh just right
Find every space you’re hiding in
Fill it up with this slow burning skin
Under this backroad bedroom light
I wanna love you hard tonight
[Verse 2]
Buttons fall
One by one, slow rain
Your head on my shoulder
Soft thunder in my veins
You trace my scars
Name them like old towns
I lose my breath
Every time you lay me down
[Chorus]
I wanna love you hard tonight
Every kiss, every sigh just right
Find every space you’re hiding in
Fill it up with this slow burning skin
Under this backroad bedroom light
I wanna love you hard tonight
[Bridge]
Take your time, take mine
We ain’t racing any dawn
If the world keeps turning
It can turn with nothing on (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I wanna love you hard tonight
Every kiss, every sigh just right
Find every space you’re hiding in
Fill it up with this slow burning skin
Under this backroad bedroom light
I wanna love you hard tonight

country, Slow-burning intimate country ballad with male vocals, close-mic’d baritone and brushed kit. Warm fingerpicked acoustic and soft pedal steel hold the verses; bass and organ swell gently into the chorus. Subtle harmony stacks on the hook, breathy and close. Mix is dry and up-front, like a late-night whisper in a small room., ballad
