Suds and Small Talk

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain is tapping on the glass
Watching all the minutes pass
Sorting out the work-day blues
In my dusty farm-supply shoes
Then I saw your old blue truck
Guess it’s just my lucky luck
Pulling in to stall number four
Right beside the laundromat door
[Pre-Chorus]
Faded flannel on your back
Living life right on the track
You’ve got a different kind of smile
Haven’t seen it in a while
It’s a quiet kind of change
Nothing feels bitter or strange
[Chorus]
It’s just suds and small talk now
We both made it through somehow
No more fire, no more rain
Just the washing of the stain
The sweet tea’s half-empty in the cup
But baby, look how we grew up
Yeah, look how we grew up
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Finally finding solid ground
Just suds and small talk
Down this rainy sidewalk
[Verse]
Detergent bubbles on your chrome
Taking all the heavy linens home
You asked about the grain and feed
I said I’ve got everything I need
The silence doesn't even sting
It’s a strange and steady thing
To see the boy I used to know
In the man you had to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Faded flannel on your back
Living life right on the track
You’ve got a different kind of smile
Haven’t seen it in a while
It’s a quiet kind of change
Nothing feels bitter or strange
[Chorus]
It’s just suds and small talk now
We both made it through somehow
No more fire, no more rain
Just the washing of the stain
The sweet tea’s half-empty in the cup
But baby, look how we grew up
Yeah, look how we grew up
[Bridge]
We were wild at seventeen
Chasing every neon dream
Now we’re twenty-eight and steady
For a life that’s finally ready
No more tears to wipe away
On a rainy Tuesday afternoon
It ended just a bit too soon
But it’s alright today
[Hook]
Clean sheets and a clear mind
Leaving all the ghosts behind
Clean sheets and a clear mind
Leaving all the ghosts behind
[Chorus]
It’s just suds and small talk now
We both made it through somehow
No more fire, no more rain
Just the washing of the stain
The sweet tea’s half-empty in the cup
But baby, look how we grew up
Yeah, look how we grew up
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Finally finding solid ground
Just suds and small talk
Down this rainy sidewalk
[Outro]
