Front Porch Kind of Brave

[Verse 1] Coffee in a chipped blue cup Mail piled by the door again Little crack in the kitchen tile I keep sayin’ I’ll fix it someday Sun sneakin’ through the blinds Dust dancin’ like it’s on parade I’ve been hidin’ in the small stuff Scared of every big change [Chorus] But I’m standin’ here Front porch kind of brave Bare feet on the peeling paint Feelin’ every shake Let the wind blow Let my old fears fade Heart wide open in the morning haze That’s a Front porch kind of brave [Verse 2] Daddy’s voice in the back of my mind “Girl, don’t you dare play small” Mama’s laugh in the screen door slam “Go on, you can have it all” I’ve been sayin’ “maybe next year” Like it’s some far-off town But the road starts at my mailbox Runs right past this ground [Chorus] So I’m standin’ here Front porch kind of brave Bare feet on the peeling paint Feelin’ every shake Let the wind blow Let my old fears fade Heart wide open in the morning haze That’s a Front porch kind of brave [Bridge] I don’t need a big ol’ speech (mm-hmm) Just one small step off these three wood steps (hey) If I shake, then let me shake Long as I don’t turn away [Chorus] ‘Cause I’m standin’ here Front porch kind of brave Bare feet on the peeling paint Feelin’ every shake Let the wind blow Let my old fears fade Heart wide open in the morning haze Yeah, I’m Front porch kind of brave (Front porch kind of brave)
