May Get

Lyrics
...
[spoken word]
yeah
this is Pullenboy Music

**[Intro]**
Yeah… she’s right there, but still outta reach
I’m close enough to feel her, but can’t speak
*Her perfume’s on the breeze, smellin’ so good, keepin’ me weak*

**[Verse 1]**
She’s swayin’ on the porch swing, moonlight in her hair
Her bare feet on the floorboards, but I’m stuck in this chair
Got a joint in my hand, half-full of regret
Every puff says “someday,” but I ain’t tasted her kiss yet
She’s a dusty backroad promise, gravel in my soul
I’m chasin’ down a feelin’ that I can’t control

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Her beautiful blond hair and her blue eyes that shine
Prayin’ to the heavens I want to taste her kiss
And make her mine
But my heart’s too afraid to tell her ‘cause it don’t want to break again
I want to kiss her lips so bad and I never want it to end

**[Chorus]**
May get to hold that girl I ain’t been with yet
She’s the kind of trouble I ain’t learned to forget
Every glance is a gamble, every smile’s a bet
May get… may get… but I ain’t got her yet

**[Verse 2]**
She’s dancin’ ‘round the firepit, sparks in her laugh
I’m standin’ outside, tryin’ not to crash
She’s talkin’ to her friends, but catchin’ my eye
I’m countin’ every heartbeat, waitin’ for the play
But today just ain’t the day
Maybe I’m just dreamin’ ‘bove what I can see
I know she wouldn’t want a man like me

**[Bridge]**
I’m thumbin’ through my courage like a worn-out deck of cards
She’s a queen I can’t play, but I’m holdin’ all the odds
One more puff of the blunt, one more song on the strings
If the night don’t take her, I’ll be back on my knees

**[Final Chorus]**
May get to hold that girl I ain’t been with yet
Turn a “maybe someday” into a night I won’t regret
Every “almost” pulls me closer, every “not yet” keeps me set
May get… may get… but I ain’t got her yet
*(May get, may get… Lord, I’m gonna get her yet)*

**[Outro]**
Yeah… may get…
One of these nights, she’ll be ridin’ shotgun.
