Heart Couldn't Tell Me A Lie

[Verse 1]
Boots by the door
Sunburn on your shoulders
Laugh lines, wild eyes
Made this small town feel bolder
You brushed past my arm
Said “hey, nice to meet you”
Every word in that room
Faded out when I saw you
[Chorus]
I knew you were for me when you walked in the room
Like the whole world stopped, every headlight hit you
I tried to play it cool, tried to buy myself time
But my heart couldn't tell me a lie
My heart couldn't tell me a lie (no, no)
It jumped straight to your side
My heart couldn't tell me a lie
[Verse 2]
Your name on my tongue
Rolling like red gravel
You laughed at my jokes
Called me out when I rambled
You stole my old cap
Said “guess this is mine now”
Right then, right there
I was already sworn somehow
[Chorus]
I knew you were for me when you walked in the room
Like the whole world stopped, every headlight hit you
I tried to play it cool, tried to buy myself time
But my heart couldn't tell me a lie
My heart couldn't tell me a lie (oh, girl)
It jumped straight to your side
My heart couldn't tell me a lie
[Bridge]
Could’ve blamed it on the long week
On the last round, on the bright moon sky (yeah)
But you took my hand in the parking lot
And every excuse I had just died
[Chorus]
I knew you were for me when you walked in the room
Every prayer I’d thrown out came running back in you
I tried to play it cool, tried to buy myself time
But my heart couldn't tell me a lie
My heart couldn't tell me a lie (no way)
It jumped straight to your side
My heart couldn't tell me a lie
