I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel the other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down, he says, "Is something wrong?"
I say, "Nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song"
And he says
Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again
I was walking up the front porch steps
After everything that day had gone wrong and been trampled on
And lost and thrown away
Got to the hallway, well on my way to my loving bed
I almost didn't notice all the roses and the note that said
Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again
I've heard every album, listened to the radio
Waited for something to come along
That was as good as our song
Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late
Tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date, "Man, I didn't kiss her when I should have"
And when I got home, before I said "Amen" asking God if he could play it again
Oh yeah, I was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
And I wrote down our song
