Go On, Play Me

(Verse 1)

Yeah, truck tires on the gravel, dust is kicking high

Got the engine rumbling low beneath the open sky

Radio's humming, but the signal’s weak

Just static and the memory of the words you speak

You got that sweet tea smile, that southern drawl

But I see the writing on the gas station wall

You lookin' for a good time, not a forever man

Just a blue-collar boy doin' all he can

You wear them cutoff jeans and that worn-out hat

Got me feeling high on the hog, laid out flat

I know the game, girl, I ain't dumb

Waiting on the day when the hammer comes

(Chorus)

So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string

Run your fingers down every single string

Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune

Underneath the glow of that harvest moon

You pull me in close, then you push me away

Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day

I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast

Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last

Yeah, play me, girl.

(Verse 2)

You got me spinning 'round faster than a tilt-a-whirl

The prettiest mistake in my whole wide world

Sipping whiskey neat, watchin green eyes gleam

Another broken promise, another busted dream

You got that city slicker look when you dress up nice

But you got the heart of a gambler rolling the dice

I should be walking off, kicking up the sand

But I’m stuck right here, eating from your hand

You're a smooth operator, a real sharp thief

Stealing all my time, causing all my grief

Got a million reasons to just say "bye"

But I'm watching that tail light fade, wondering why

(Chorus)

So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string

Run your fingers down every single string

Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune

Underneath the glow of that harvest moon

You pull me in close, then you push me away

Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day

I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast

Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last

Yeah, play me, girl.

(Bridge)

The sun goes down on this dusty old town

And I’m just waiting for you to come 'round

I know it's a lie, I know it's a show

But I can't find the strength to let you go

It's a bitter pill, but the taste is sweet

Dancing to the rhythm of your two-timing beat

(Verse 3)

Yeah, stack the chips, I'm all in tonight

Even though I know you ain't doing me right

Every text you send me is a fishin' line

Reelin' in this heart, thinking it's all fine

I know you're trouble, a beautiful wreck

With your boot on my heart, your hand on my neck

It's a country song cliche, a rap verse sad and true

Just a backroad boy getting played by you

(Chorus)

So go on, play me, girl, like my old six-string

Run your fingers down every single string

Make that heart a hollow sound, a sad country tune

Underneath the glow of that harvest moon

You pull me in close, then you push me away

Another heartbreak coming at the end of the day

I see you dealt the cards, and I’m folding fast

Just a fool for your tune, hoping it might last

Yeah, play me, girl.
