I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
D Em
He’s got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
G A
The other on my heart
D Em
I look around, turn the radio down
G A
He says baby is something wrong?
D Em G A
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don’t have a song
And he says...

D Em
Our song is the slamming screen door,
G A
Sneakin’ out late, tapping on your window
D Em G
When you’re on the phone and you talk real slow
A D
Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know
Em
Our song is the way you laugh
G A
The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”
Em A Em
And when I got home ... before I said amen
D G
Asking God if he could play it again

D Em G A

D Em G A
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
D Em
Had gone all wrong or been trampled on
G A
And lost and thrown away
D Em G A
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin’ bed
D Em
I almost didn’t notice all the roses
G A
And the note that said...

When you’re on the phone and you talk real slow

Cause it’s late and your mama don’t know

The first date “man, I didn’t kiss her, but I should have”

And when I got home ... before I said amen

Asking God if he could play it again
