Crooked Little Heart

Verse 1

Summers roll around just like they always do

I pack the truck and head down that dusty county two

Farm gates hanging open and the fields all turned to gold

Praying this is the year the story gets retold

Pre-Chorus

Same old gravel road

Same old beating sun

Wondering if you're out there somewhere

Wondering if we're done

Chorus

I still go back every summer to the tree you carved our names in

Heart inside a lopsided heart like we were playing some old game in

Bark has grown around the letters but the memories stay the same in

That crooked little carving that I trace with my own fingers

Verse 2

Mama says let go and folks say time heals everything

But summer comes and I can't help the way my bell still rings

I sit beneath the branches where the shade comes cool and deep

And whisper to the wind the promises we used to keep

Pre-Chorus

Same old faded jean

Same old empty sky

Wondering if you miss me too

Wondering why goodbye

Chorus

I still go back every summer to the tree you carved our names in

Heart inside a lopsided heart like we were playing some old game in

Bark has grown around the letters but the memories stay the same in

That crooked little carving that I trace with my own fingers

Bridge

Maybe one hot July

You'll come walking through the gate

I'll see your shadow in the dust

And it won't be too late

Chorus

I still go back every summer to the tree you carved our names in

Heart inside a lopsided heart like we were playing some old game in

Bark has grown around the letters but the memories stay the same in

That crooked little carving that I trace with my own fingers
