Crickets In The Truck Bed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Kicked my boots off Tailgate hangin’ by a busted chain Cooler’s half warm But that’s alright We stayed too late Moon’s sittin’ low Dust still floatin’ where we spun out red Whole damn world’s quiet ’Cept crickets in the truck bed [Chorus] Crickets in the truck bed Screamin’ like a backroad choir Empty cans rollin’ ’round Clickin’ in the cross-bed wire You got your bare feet Up on my folded jacket Small-town silence And a heart attack habit Let the whole night echo in my head With you And crickets in the truck bed (hey!) [Verse 2] Your laugh sparks Like a lighter in the August dark You trace names In the dust on the side of the tarp Talk big dreams ’Bout leavin’ but you stay instead ’Cause you kinda like the soundtrack Of crickets in the truck bed [Chorus] Crickets in the truck bed Screamin’ like a backroad choir Empty cans rollin’ ’round Clickin’ in the cross-bed wire You got your bare feet Up on my folded jacket Small-town silence And a heart attack habit Let the whole night echo in my head With you And crickets in the truck bed [Bridge] One headlight out But we still find our way You say “promise me You’ll miss this place someday” I don’t say much Just kiss you instead While God’s own drumline Ticks under the tread (oh) [Chorus] Crickets in the truck bed Screamin’ like a backroad choir Empty cans rollin’ ’round Clickin’ in the cross-bed wire You got your bare feet Up on my folded jacket Small-town silence And a heart attack habit If this is all we ever get I’m set With you And crickets in the truck bed
