[Verse 1]
Listenin' to Gillian Welch
Ooh, I can't help myself
Look at Miss Ohio
That ain't how you smile though
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
Listen to The Band by The Band
Honey, I hold your hand
Your eyes look tired
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
[Chorus]
And when you speak
I might bend to listen to you
Hallelujah, my God
Fast asleep in the back of my car
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
And when you speak
I might bend to listen to you
Hallelujah, my God
Windows foggin' up in my car
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own

You put on Liz Phair
And you lean back in your chair
Then you turn the dial low

I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio—
Every little kiss
Or Nebraska, you blush when I ask ya
Questions 'bout your past, ah

Talk down, turn the radio down
I like it when you
Talk down, turn the radio down
[Chorus]
And when you speak
I might bend to listen to you
Hallelujah, my God
Fast asleep in the back of my car
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
And when you speak
I might bend to listen to you
Hallelujah, my God (My God)
Windows foggin' up in my car
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
I like it when you talk do-o-o-own
