Lyrics
[Verse]
When I pulled in at 8 PM
The headlights lit the drive
The truck that parked behind me had that telltale Southern vibe
It's a good thing I look cute in the boots I slipped into
I better know who drove it
And he better be you
[Chorus]
I bet that you been sitting in my favorite living room chair
My mama probably made you play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I can already see her sweet smile as you play her something new
I'm not coming in there if you're not in there too
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
[Verse 2]
I saw the spare key missing when I checked above the door
The ones that were just lying there never got used before
You must have found the note I left with the blueprints of our move
If someone else is living there
They better not approve
[Chorus]
I bet that you been sitting in my favorite living room chair
My mama probably made you play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I can already see her sweet smile as you play her something new
I'm not coming in there if you're not in there too
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
[Bridge]
And if I'm wrong
And you've been gone
And that's not your truck
And that's not your song
If I'm not strong
If I break down
If you're not here
If you're not around
If I'm not welcome
I know you are
And when I walk in
I'll walk in
[Chorus]
And find you sitting in my favorite living room chair
And Mama asking you to play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I could see her sweet smile while you played her something new
And I told her
"If you're not here
Then I'm not here too"
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
When I pulled in at 8 PM
The headlights lit the drive
The truck that parked behind me had that telltale Southern vibe
It's a good thing I look cute in the boots I slipped into
I better know who drove it
And he better be you
[Chorus]
I bet that you been sitting in my favorite living room chair
My mama probably made you play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I can already see her sweet smile as you play her something new
I'm not coming in there if you're not in there too
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
[Verse 2]
I saw the spare key missing when I checked above the door
The ones that were just lying there never got used before
You must have found the note I left with the blueprints of our move
If someone else is living there
They better not approve
[Chorus]
I bet that you been sitting in my favorite living room chair
My mama probably made you play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I can already see her sweet smile as you play her something new
I'm not coming in there if you're not in there too
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
[Bridge]
And if I'm wrong
And you've been gone
And that's not your truck
And that's not your song
If I'm not strong
If I break down
If you're not here
If you're not around
If I'm not welcome
I know you are
And when I walk in
I'll walk in
[Chorus]
And find you sitting in my favorite living room chair
And Mama asking you to play your guitar while she braided my sister's hair
I could see her sweet smile while you played her something new
And I told her
"If you're not here
Then I'm not here too"
That better be your Chevy
And you better be you
