Paradise Ain't Far

[Verse 1] Clock hits five and the whistle blows Another long day finally letting go Dust on my boots and the sun sinking low Got the windows down on an old back road Everybody's talking 'bout a distant place Some perfect view they can't wait to chase But I've got your smile and your hand in mine Makes me think we've been there the whole time [Pre-Chorus] We don't need a map, don't need a plan Just a little faith and a tan line tan [Chorus] Paradise ain't far, it's right where we are Two hearts riding underneath the stars Don't need a jet, don't need it all Just a summer night and your midnight call The world keeps running, trying to raise the bar But happiness is closer than they think it is by far Every mile feels like a brand-new start When I'm with you, paradise ain't far [Verse 2] Palm trees swaying by the waterline Salt in the air and your fingers intertwined Radio playing our favorite song We laugh so hard that we sing it wrong No fancy mansion on a hill somewhere No gold-plated dreams floating in the air Just a blanket spread on the sandy shore And somehow I keep wanting more [Pre-Chorus] Everybody's looking for a brighter sky Never realizing it's passing by [Chorus] Paradise ain't far, it's right where we are Two hearts riding underneath the stars Don't need a jet, don't need it all Just a summer night and your midnight call The world keeps running, trying to raise the bar But happiness is closer than they think it is by far Every mile feels like a brand-new start When I'm with you, paradise ain't far [Guitar Solo] (Soaring tropical-country guitar solo with melodic bends, island percussion driving underneath, building into a triumphant finale.) [Bridge] Maybe we've been taught to chase too much Looking for miracles we can already touch Maybe the treasure everybody wants to find Is sitting right beside them the whole time [Final Chorus] Paradise ain't far, it's right where we are Two hearts dancing underneath the stars Don't need a jet, don't need it all Just your sweet voice when the evening falls The world keeps searching for another shooting star While we're making memories exactly where we are Every day with you heals every scar And that's why paradise ain't far [Outro] Yeah, paradise ain't far It's right here in your arms No matter where we are Paradise ain't far... Paradise ain't far.
