Two feet steady where the red dust rests (Version 2)

Verse 1

Orange light sitting on the zinc roof edge

Bare heels steady on the concrete ledge

You hold my wrist as the tempo slows

Warm wind blowing where the shadow goes

No words needed when the shaker leans in

Last bit of heat on the back of your skin

Pre-Chorus

Down low, down low

Let the iron slide down

Slow roll, slow roll

Listen to the ground

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Two feet steady where the red dust rests

Drop with the wood, let the heavy air press

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Verse 2

Amber bottle sweating on a wooden crate

We lean together as the sound shifts weight

Collarbone shining in the fading gold

Log drum rolling through the heat we hold

Step to the left when the bottom drops down

Two dark figures on the hardening ground

Pre-Chorus

Down low, down low

Let the iron slide down

Slow roll, slow roll

Listen to the ground

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Two feet steady where the red dust rests

Drop with the wood, let the heavy air press

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Bridge

The sky turns purple, the engine hums

Blood takes the time when the drop drum comes

Right in the dip where the deep tones stay

We let the evening take the rest away

Chorus

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest

Two feet steady where the red dust rests

Drop with the wood, let the heavy air press

Feel the pitch bend deep in your chest
