Lyrics
Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do

The way the grass smells at night
And you've got flames all in your eyes
As they reflect the sparkler
And you say we'll never die
Grab me by the hands
Just as callused as I am
Say you're proud

Well, there's blue jeans in the driveway
And you're walking inside sideways
The wine always affects you in beautiful kind ways
Ask me if I'm staying and I say that I'm sleeping on the floor

Won't you tell me that you need me
'Cause lately I've been needing someone to remind me
I'm worth more than just an evening
I awoke to kitchen smoke, you dancin' like God's moved in you before

Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do

Well, in you
I'm new
I'm new
Oh, how I'm new

Well, look in my eyes, I don't wan' to hide
I've been waiting for you all damn night
Sundress, I'll undress with nails on your skin, turning white

Getting high out in Austin
Drunk in Tennessee
I don't care where I am
As long as you're with me
Those boys downtown talk so much shit when I leave

Well, in you
The good I'll do
The good I'll do, oh
The good I'll do

'Cause in you
I'm new
I'm new
Oh, how I'm new

The way the grass smells at night
And you've got flames all in your eyes
As they reflect the sparkler
And you say we'll never die
Grabbed me by the hands
Just as callused as I am
And say you're proud
