Red Napkin
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
A red napkin folded between our elbows
Nobody watching, nobody knows
You reach for my hand on the tile
And that's the whole of my day made worthwhile

[Pre-chorus]
You don't raise your voice to prove it
You don't need the room to see
So quiet I almost miss it

[Chorus]
Tucker, you hold on without holding tight
Steady as the counter lights at night
I found something real, I found a trucker's calm
Tucker, you're the reason I unclench my palm

[Verse 2]
The coffee's gone cold, we don't care
Just the two of us sitting there
You fold the napkin one more time
Like folding is a kind of rhyme

[Chorus]
Tucker, you hold on without holding tight
Steady as the counter lights at night
I found something real, I found a trucker's calm
Tucker, you're the reason I unclench my palm

[Bridge]
No riot, no rush, no big scene
Just your elbow leaning into mine
I'll take this over anything loud
This is the love I'm proud of

[Chorus]
Tucker, you hold on without holding tight
Steady as the counter lights at night
I found something real, I found a trucker's calm
Tucker, you're the reason I unclench my palm

[Outro]
Someday they'll clear the napkin away
But I'll still feel your elbow that way
