Scuffed Edges

[Intro]
[Verse]
Small town, neon sign
Quarters in a silver line
Low hum of the dryer drum
Listen to the motor thrum
Frayed cuffs on a flannel shirt
Washing out the Friday dirt
Soap suds in a plastic sink
Giving us a chance to think
[Pre-Chorus]
Dryer lint like fireflies
Dancing right before our eyes
Through the screen door, evening air
You just watch me standing there
With no makeup on my face
Finding such a gentle grace
[Chorus]
You love my scuffed edges
And all my broken pledges
Like a cool autumn breeze
Putting my heart at ease
In the cab of your old truck
We don't need no lucky luck
Just the way I am tonight
Everything feels finally right
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, it’s finally right
Under the pale moon light
Just the way I am tonight
[Verse]
Jukebox playing something slow
Songs from forty years ago
Static on the radio dial
But you make me want to smile
Folded piles on the plastic bench
Love is more than just a wrench
Scars upon these hands of mine
Telling tales of lost design
[Pre-Chorus]
Smell of soap and summer rain
Washing out the winter stain
Through the window, golden hue
I am safe when I’m with you
No more hiding who I’ve been
Let the healing start again
[Chorus]
You love my scuffed edges
And all my broken pledges
Like a cool autumn breeze
Putting my heart at ease
In the cab of your old truck
We don't need no lucky luck
Just the way I am tonight
Everything feels finally right
[Bridge]
The world wants polished gold
Stories that are neatly told
But you like the faded thread
And every word I haven't said
You don't mind the worn-out seams
Or the dust inside my dreams
You see the beauty in the rust
Building up a holy trust
[Breakdown]
Unpolished
Unfinished
But never diminished
Just us
In the dust
[Chorus]
You love my scuffed edges
And all my broken pledges
Like a cool autumn breeze
Putting my heart at ease
In the cab of your old truck
We don't need no lucky luck
Just the way I am tonight
Everything feels finally right
[Outro]
