Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in late With red dirt on my boots You were packin' slow At the edge of our room Old fan turnin' Pushin' heat through the dust You looked at me once Like you couldn't trust love [Verse 2] Your mama's Bible On the sink by the door Your pale blue dress Lyin' on the floor I heard the screen slam I heard the truck roll by You said my name soft Like a storm in July [Pre-Chorus] And I knew then We was sinkin' low Still I stood there Too proud to let go [Chorus] Take me back To where we broke Take me back Before the smoke Red clay mercy Red clay mercy Hold me close If you still can [Verse 3] Now the porch light's dead And the weeds are high Your house still leans Like it don't know why I drive that road With the windows down Hoping your laugh Is still hangin' around [Pre-Chorus] And I know now What I should've said But the hard words came And the soft ones bled [Chorus] Take me back To where we broke Take me back Before the smoke Red clay mercy Red clay mercy Hold me close If you still can [Bridge] If you hear me On that long dark wind Don't turn away Let me come in I got these hands Still stained with the past I learned too late What was built to last [Chorus] Take me back To where we broke Take me back Before the smoke Red clay mercy Red clay mercy Hold me close If you still can [Outro] Hold me close If you still can Red clay mercy Red clay mercy
