[Verse 1] Foldout tables on the curb Paper plates and lemon pie Kids chalk up little moons On the cracked-up sidewalk sky Mr. Lee brings red beans A cooler sweating in the grass Somebody tuned a little lute And let the slow songs pass [Pre-Chorus] Window fans are turning Front doors open wide Everybody’s bringing One more chair outside [Chorus] Come on out The block is ours Lanterns on Maple Under the stars Come on out Stay a while Lanterns on Maple Ease that heart [Verse 2] Auntie fans her dominoes Next to a speaker on a crate Two-step by the hydrant While the grill runs late Baby shoes on pavement Granddad laughs and claps Even the dogs are pacing To the rhythm of the snaps [Pre-Chorus] Window fans are turning Front doors open wide Everybody’s bringing One more chair outside [Chorus] Come on out The block is ours Lanterns on Maple Under the stars Come on out Stay a while Lanterns on Maple Ease that heart [Bridge] No need for fancy Just a plate and your name Pass that sweet cornbread Pass that beat around the same [Chorus] Come on out The block is ours Lanterns on Maple Under the stars Come on out Stay a while Lanterns on Maple Ease that heart
