[Verse 1] We spent decades in lessons of livin' and love Wearing scars we both wanted to hide Had our minds made up, we'd be better alone Shield our hearts from the dangers outside Lord, we never in a million years Would've guessed how wrong we'd be Cause our love has torn down every wall And set these two guarded hearts free Our fervorous love has given new hope A future, once believed only in dreams A resurrection, a breath of zeal New visions of endless possibility [Verse 2] Now I see an old porch swing there At the edge of evenin’ gold My head laid softly on your heartbeat In your tattooed arms, my love you hold I sing some brand-new song I’ve written Words still warm upon my tongue Or lose myself in one more story That takes me forever to get done And you just smile like time don’t matter Like the moon can wait all night And the whole world fades to shadows When you hold me there just right [Pre-Chorus] And all the roads we couldn’t straighten All the tears we carried through Turn to fireflies in the twilight And drift like blessings over you [Lifted Chorus] Someday on that porch swing, darlin’ No more clouds and no more rain Just your heartbeat under my cheekbone And my voice callin’ your name Bonfires burnin’, family laughin’ Music risin’ through the trees Someday on that porch swing, baby Our love will finally breathe with ease [Verse 3] Pumpkin fields in the early fall Vines all curled in amber light A treehouse high among the maples Campground lanterns burning bright Friends and kin around the fire ring While the old songs drift and flow I’ll be pickin' and a'singin’, having fun You'll be grillin' and a'lovin' the show Your dimpled cheeks will turn bright red When I sing a love song I wrote for you And in the glow of flickering fire light There's a sparkle in your eyes of the bluest blue [Verse 4] And you can trade those late night highways For bas boats and your own sweet time Build with weathered hands the dream You’ve been carryin’ all your life And you’ll be that kinda full throttle pappaw The youngins run to with their muddy feet But the safe and steady kind of shelter That makes a hard world soft and sweet We'll take em' to the drive-in movie Blankets spread beneath the stars Just a'teasin’, and a'flickin’ popcorn Laughin' louder than the muscle cars [Pre-Chorus] And Lord I hope we never lose that Wild and easy spark we found Where even mischief feels like sunshine And joy comes dancin’ all around [Lifted Chorus] Someday on that porch swing, darlin’ No more clouds and no more rain Just your heartbeat under my cheekbone And my voice callin’ your name Bonfires burnin’, family laughin’ Music risin’ through the trees Someday on that porch swing, baby Our love will finally breathe with ease [Verse 5] Blue summer skies, Kentucky back roads At the mercy of those two wheels we ride My arms wrapped around your leather waist Fingers tracin' hearts upon my denim thigh And when the whole day settles quiet And the television glows dim blue Under that old quilt, warmth we always find Like the only home we ever knew No more letters left between us No more waitin’ on someday Just your arms around me easy And all our storms just drift away [Bridge] And if heaven asked me gently What forever ought to be… I’d say your chest beneath my cheek there While your sweet words fall on me A porch swing swayin’ in the soft breeze Fireflies stitched in fields of gold A song half-whispered in the darkness Two hearts finally growing old A little laughter, a little moonlight A little smoke and melody And all this love we kept surviving Turning into memory!!!!!! [Pre-Chorus] And Lord I hope we never lose that Wild and easy spark we found Where even mischief feels like sunshine And joy comes dancin’ all around [Lifted Chorus] Someday on that porch swing, darlin’ No more clouds and no more rain Just your heartbeat under my cheekbone And my voice callin’ your name Bonfires burnin’, family laughin’ Music risin’ through the trees Someday on that porch swing, baby Our love will finally breathe with ease [Tag] Someday on that porch swing, baby Hand in hand, just you and me.....
