Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Chipped ceramic mug on the dash Dusty truck, moving fast Scuffed up boots on the floor Heading out the hardware store Bought a jacket for my little girl Thrifted find, a second-hand pearl [Pre-Chorus] Neon hair ties tangled in the seam Like a neon flash in a quiet dream Reach deep down where the lining’s torn Found a piece of the day I was born [Chorus] It’s a plastic shell and a magnetic heart Telling a story that didn’t fall apart Handwritten ink from eighteen years ago Momma’s way of saying “I love you so” Trade school bound on a greyhound bus Now it’s back here home with us [Verse] I remember that kitchen light She was taping songs late at night To keep me company on the road Lightening up that heavy load Now my daughter wears the denim sleeve In a miracle I gotta believe [Pre-Chorus] Neon hair ties tangled in the seam Like a neon flash in a quiet dream Reach deep down where the lining’s torn Found a piece of the day I was born [Chorus] It’s a plastic shell and a magnetic heart Telling a story that didn’t fall apart Handwritten ink from eighteen years ago Momma’s way of saying “I love you so” Trade school bound on a greyhound bus Now it’s back here home with us [Bridge] The wood is cut, the frame is set Best pay that I've gotten yet A little magic in a thrift-store find Leaving all the heavy days behind [Verse] I popped the tape in the old machine Heard the static and the space between Her voice came through like a summer rain Taking away every ounce of pain She said “Son, you're gonna do just fine” Now I'm humming it at the county line [Chorus] It’s a plastic shell and a magnetic heart Telling a story that didn’t fall apart Handwritten ink from eighteen years ago Momma’s way of saying “I love you so” Trade school bound on a greyhound bus Now it’s back here home with us [Post-Chorus] Spinning like a wheel of gold Stories that were never told Momma found a way back On a dusty cassette track [Outro]
