Sun beats down on this dusty town, you walk by and I mess around

Spill my coffee, drop my keys, anything to make you see me

But your eyes are like a distant star, fixed on somethin' else, no matter how far

I rev my truck, I talk too loud, tryin' to stand out from the crowd

I see those other boys hangin' 'round your door, polished boots on a hardwood floor

They got easy smiles and practiced lines, makin' promises they ain't designing

To keep for longer than a Friday night, then they'll disappear in the mornin' light

I ain't got the flash, ain't got the flair, just this worn-out heart I wanna share

We could be a backroad runnin' wild, a bonfire story, a reckless smile

I know there's fire behind your gaze, we could burn through these complicated days

Yeah, we'd love and fight and slam some doors, then find our way back to what we're fightin' for

It's a crazy thought, a tangled dream, but we belong together, you and me

I'm lookin' for a guide, some kind of map, to get me out of this emotional trap

Prayin' for a sign, a whisper on the breeze, a sudden feelin' that puts my soul at ease

'Cause I ain't the type to play these games, I'm tired of callin' out your name

To an empty room, a crowded bar, while you keep wonderin' where you are

Just give me one look, a moment's chance, to break you out of this sideways glance

I'm the kinda guy that wants to build a home, not leave you standin' out there all alone

So turn your head, just a little bit, see the man who's ready to commit

Forget the noise, forget the rest, there won't be no more sideways glance
