[Verse 1] I was worn thin, praying on a borrowed dime You tipped your hat and asked if I was doing fine Said, “If you want, I’ll pray with you tonight” Something in your voice made the hard road feel all right Vanilla on your collar, tobacco in the air Bourbon cologne trailing when you walked over there Ariat boots, Wrangler denim, chew-can ring Hat turned back, and you knew just what that did to me [Pre-Chorus] You found me in the wreckage, never asked me to pretend Put a little faith beneath my skin Now every quiet promise in your low, slow drawl Has me wanting more than I can hold [Chorus] Come closer, cowboy, let me show you what I feel You got that old-soul trouble with a touch that makes it real Your hand at my waist, your breath along my neck I want to be the lesson you ain’t learned yet Come closer, cowboy, leave your mercy at the door I’ve got a room full of wanting and a heart that wants you more Take me where the whiskey turns the whole night gold I’ll give you every kind of loving you ain’t ever known [Verse 2] Pappy Van Winkle poured slow in a crystal glass You watch me take a sip like you hope the moment lasts Your fingers trace a promise, gentle as a loaded gun Then you bite my neck softly, and I come undone Five-finger necklace, leaving heat across my skin Your back against the wall, then you pull me in No need for big talk, no need to play it cool You can be my rough edge; I can be your rule [Pre-Chorus] You found me in the wreckage, never asked me to pretend Put a little faith beneath my skin Now every quiet promise in your low, slow drawl Has me wanting more than I can hold [Chorus] Come closer, cowboy, let me show you what I feel You got that old-soul trouble with a touch that makes it real Your hand at my waist, your breath along my neck I want to be the lesson you ain’t learned yet Come closer, cowboy, leave your mercy at the door I’ve got a room full of wanting and a heart that wants you more Take me where the whiskey turns the whole night gold I’ll give you every kind of loving you ain’t ever known [Bridge] Turn that hat around, let the whole world disappear Say my name real low so only I can hear You prayed for me when I was barely getting by Now I’m pulling you inside beneath a velvet sky No shame in the hunger, no fear in the flame You gave me hope, and I’ll give you a night you won’t forget again [Final Chorus] Come closer, cowboy, let me show you what I feel You got that old-soul trouble with a touch that makes it real Your hand at my waist, your breath along my neck I want to be the lesson you ain’t learned yet Come closer, cowboy, leave your mercy at the door I’ve got a room full of wanting and a heart that wants you more Take me where the whiskey turns the whole night gold I’ll give you every kind of loving you ain’t ever known [Outro] Vanilla, tobacco, bourbon in the hall Your boots by the bedside, your hat against the wall You found me struggling, now you’re all I want to do Come closer, cowboy—I’ll make a believer out of you
