[Verse 1]
Coffee cup ring on the table
Half-done crossword, Tuesday dawn
You hum that old tune in the kitchen
And my bad dreams yawn and move on

[Chorus]
You put that back porch in my bones
Little two-step in my sighs
Turn my heavy heart to honey
With that side-eye, that slow-time smile
Yeah, you got that soulful swing
In the way you say my name
Make a tired day snap and sing
Till the blues forget they came (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Bills in a stack by the lamp light
News on, but it fades to gray
You tap your foot, start soft-shoe laughing
And the hard world shuffles away

[Chorus]
You put that back porch in my bones
Little two-step in my sighs
Turn my heavy heart to honey
With that side-eye, that slow-time smile
Yeah, you got that soulful swing
In the way you say my name
Make a tired day snap and sing
Till the blues forget they came (hey!)
