lyrics

I wish he had taken all of me
When I got run over by a country star
When he stood over me
I said you sing beautifully
Then we drove slow to his song on the radio
He hit that note until his voice broke

You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right

I wanna be your sin boy baby
Company that you’ve waited to meet
Me keep me hiding it don’t tell no one I don’t want them to see

We sit at home she smiles next to me
She’s sweet like candy
We live comfortably
Her name’s on my hip, where I tattooed it
But when I get too high in my devilish mind
I’ll make a dream to quit while reality slips
When he leaned me back in his classic car
I knew what it was like to want a country star

I wanna be your sin boy baby
Company that you’ve waited to meet
Me keep me hiding it don’t tell no one I don’t want them to see
(Don’t want them to see)
(Don’t want them to see)

With your help you put god on my mouth I’m still on that
How’d you do that
With your help you put god on my mouth I’m still on that
How’d you do that
(Don’t want them to see)

You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right
You’re the country star that lights up my sky
You’re the first one to make me feel right

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
