Rhythm of Your Name

Verse 1

The gravel road was dusty and the summer sun was hot

That little patch of history was our favorite spot

I met you at the old school house just kicking at the dirt

Wearing faded denim and an oversized plaid shirt

I didn't know it then but you'd be spinning my whole world

Just a quiet country boy and a golden-hearted girl

Pre-Chorus

It's a funny kind of rhythm how this feeling came along

Like a needle finally dropping on my favorite vinyl song

But every time I look your way you start laughing and I start blushing

My pulse is beating like a drum and my foolish blood is rushing

Chorus

I can never speak the words I wanted to speak

My throat just gets so dry and my knees go weak

I practiced in the mirror and I wrote it in the sand

But it all falls to pieces when you brush against my hand

Yeah I fumbled and I stuttered feeling like I was just walking

Until I started just letting my heart do all the talking

Hook

Heart do the talking

Heart do the talking

Verse 2

We were sitting on the tailgate when the lightning bugs came out

I had a pocket full of courage and a head so full of doubt

You were looking at the moonlight tracing shadows on the trees

Humming out a melody into the evening breeze

I wanted to tell you that you're brighter than the stars

But the sentence wouldn't travel past the dashboard of my car

Pre-Chorus

Because it's a funny kind of rhythm how this feeling came along

Like a needle finally dropping on my favorite vinyl song

And every time I look your way you start laughing and I start blushing

My pulse is beating like a drum and my foolish blood is rushing

Chorus

I can never speak the words I wanted to speak

My throat just gets so dry and my knees go weak

I practiced in the mirror and I wrote it in the sand

But it all falls to pieces when you brush against my hand

Yeah I fumbled and I stuttered feeling like I was just walking

Until I started just letting my heart do all the talking

Bridge

So I took a breath and closed my eyes and simply pulled you close

No fancy lines or poetry no perfectly planned prose

I just held you in the quiet while the crickets hummed along

And somehow in the silence we found where we belong

Final Chorus

Yeah my heart did all the talking underneath the Southern sky

Now there's a sweet and steady sparkle right behind your eye

I met you at the old school house and I'll never be the same

Because my heart just keeps on beating to the rhythm of your name

Just letting my heart do the talking

Yeah letting my heart do the talking
