Layin' down next to me
Couple miles out of Tennessee
Empty-handed but I got you
Haven't been doin' well
Nothin' makes me feel like myself
Nothin' comes as close as you do

Now I remember just how good it can be
I'd spend my whole life with you, if you let me

Pull me closer when the night is over
Take this broken heart and make it feel alright
Whisper sweet words in my ear when it hurts
Help the time move slower, let me have tonight
'Cause you put color in my black and white

It's gettin' cold, gettin' late
Movin' too slow on the interstate
Honey, I'm home, your American boy
Baby, you're beautiful
Right from your hips to your cuticules
Wherever we go, it's heaven, you know

Pull me closer when the night is over
Take this broken heart and make it feel alright
Whisper sweet words in my ear when it hurts
Help the time move slower, let me have tonight
'Cause you put color in my black and white

Now I remember just how good you get me
I'd spend my whole life with you, if you let me

Pull me closer when the night is over (no, no)
Take this broken heart and make it feel alright
Whisper sweet words in my ear when it hurts
Help the time move slower, let me have tonight
'Cause you put color in my black and white
