Tennessee Dust

Lyrics

Verse 1
Him - Country Twang
Yeah, truck tires kickin' up the Tennessee dust
In a world full of rust, girl, you're the only one I trust
Got a double-wide dream and a pocket full of time
And a million dollar vision with you right by my side
I ain't the smoothest talker, got dirt on my hands
But I'd walk a thousand miles just to be your man
From the holler to the city, yeah, they know our name
Since you struck a match, my whole heart's been in flames

Verse 2
Her - Melodic Rap
Okay, wait, slow down, you got that honest grin
Got my guard on the fence, then you pulled me in
You talk like home, like screen doors slam
Like Friday night gravel and a slow dance plan
You ain't gotta be perfect, I like your real
Like the way you say my name and the way you feel
If we chase that sun, let it burn, let it ride
I can see forever in your passenger side

Pre-Chorus
So come a little closer
Let the dust settle down
If we're gonna build this thing
We can build it now

Chorus
Tennessee dust, on our boots, on our hearts
Tennessee dust, even miles can't part
Hold me tight, don't let go
We already know, we already know
Tennessee dust, let it rise, let it glow
Tennessee dust, that's the only home I know

Verse 3
Him - Country Twang
Got a porch light glow and a paper cup moon
Your laugh hits hard like a Saturday tune
I ain't got much, but I got this ring
And a backseat promise with a sweet old swing
If the road gets rough, I'll keep both hands firm
When the whole world bends, baby, we won't turn
Let 'em talk in town, let 'em say what they please
You and me got roots where the tall grass breathes

Verse 4
Her - Melodic Rap
I was made for the gold, but I love that clay
Love your rough-cut words and your workday way
You don't need a script, you don't need a stage
You just keep it true and I stay
Yeah, you got that spark in the field at night
And I got a heart that can match that light
So when the morning comes and the tires roll slow
I'm still right here, and now you know

Pre-Chorus
So come a little closer
Let the dust settle down
If we're gonna build this thing
We can build it now

Chorus
Tennessee dust, on our boots, on our hearts
Tennessee dust, even miles can't part
Hold me tight, don't let go
We already know, we already know
Tennessee dust, let it rise, let it glow
Tennessee dust, that's the only home I know

Bridge
Him
Take my hand, we'll make a little flame

Her
Say my name, let it sound the same

Both
Through the rain, through the run
We were two, now we're one

Final Chorus
Tennessee dust, on our boots, on our hearts
Tennessee dust, even miles can't part
Hold me tight, don't let go
We already know, we already know
Tennessee dust, let it rise, let it glow
Tennessee dust, that's the only home I know
