Verse 1
Clay floor cracked from the afternoon sun
Dust lifts soft where your heel comes down
Speaker wire runs to the mango tree
Bass climbs up through the sole of your feet
You don't look at me, you just shift your weight
Heat moves through the ground before it's late
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rising through the clay
Floor gets warmer with the way we sway
Nobody's talking, nobody needs to
Chorus
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Ground carries what we don't say out loud
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Feet know the rhythm before the crowd
Heels on the clay
Heat on the floor
Verse 2
Red dust settles on your ankle bone
Log drum shaking through the yard alone
Knee bends low where the beat drops in
Floor remembers every place we've been
Shoulders drift close but our hands stay still
Ground is doing all the talking still
Pre-Chorus
Feel it rising through the clay
Floor gets warmer with the way we sway
Nobody's talking, nobody needs to
Chorus
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Ground carries what we don't say out loud
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Feet know the rhythm before the crowd
Heels on the clay
Heat on the floor
Bridge
Take off your shoes, let the clay hold your name
Dust on your skin like it's always the same
Floor don't forget, floor don't lie
Every step sinks deep, no need to ask why
Chorus
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Ground carries what we don't say out loud
Heels on the clay, heat on the floor
Feet know the rhythm before the crowd
Heels on the clay
Heat on the floor
