Front Porch Flag

[Verse 1] Pulled up slow on that gravel drive Rust on the mailbox, paint half white Realtor said, “It ain’t much to see” But I saw kids and a Christmas tree Two bare acres and a tired old barn Apple tree leanin’ over the yard Baby, you laughed, said, “It’s kinda rough” I just smiled, “Girl, that’s enough” [Chorus] Got a front porch flag and a gravel drive Mountains sittin’ pretty on the edge of the sky Little wood swing where you sit by my side (come on) This land under my boots feels right Horses in the pasture, kids runnin’ wild Fish on a stringer, Sunday church choir I don’t need much, but I’m proud of what I got tonight A front porch flag and a gravel drive [Verse 2] Springtime mud on the old screen door Summer chalk all over the floor Fall leaves raked in a crooked pile Winter boots lined up in the aisle Boy’s first buck hangin’ in the shed Girl’s first horse, paint, white and red You and me dancin’ in the kitchen light Little hands prayin’ by the bed each night [Chorus] Got a front porch flag and a gravel drive Mountains sittin’ pretty on the edge of the sky Little wood swing where you sit by my side (oh yeah) This land under my boots feels right Horses in the pasture, kids runnin’ wild Fish on a stringer, Sunday church choir I don’t need much, but I’m proud of what I got tonight A front porch flag and a gravel drive [Bridge] There’s a stream out back where my grandkids will stand Casting out hope in this same stretch of sand Thanking the Lord for this dirt in our name For the roof, for the love, for the red, white, and grace [Chorus] Got a front porch flag and a gravel drive Mountains sittin’ pretty on the edge of the sky Little wood swing where you sit by my side (right here) This land under my boots feels right Horses in the pasture, kids runnin’ wild Fish on a stringer, Sunday church choir I don’t need much, but I’m proud of what I got tonight Yeah, I stand up tall when that flag waves high With a front porch flag and a gravel drive
