[Intro – Spoken, conversational] Male: You ever notice how the best nights usually ain't the ones you planned? Female: Yeah… They're the ones you wish would last forever. Male: Guess we oughta stay a little longer. Female: Guess we oughta. [Acoustic guitar begins softly] [Verse 1 – Male] I was raised where the dirt road meets the pavement, Where the porch light meant somebody's home, Daddy taught me you don't need much for a good life, Just a little faith and somebody to call your own. I spent some years chasing down the highway, Thinking somewhere else was where I'd find Everything this old heart had been missing, Never knowing it was right here all the time. [Verse 2 – Female] I grew up where the screen door kept on swinging, Mama's voice carried across the yard, We didn't have a lot of money in our pockets, But we never thought of ourselves as poor. I learned love ain't always big and flashy, Sometimes it's coffee waiting when you rise, Sometimes it's somebody sitting right beside you, Saying, "I'm here," when the whole world passes by. [Pre-Chorus – Male & Female] Male: Maybe home ain't just a house... Female: Maybe home ain't just a town... Male: Maybe it's the one who knows you... Female: And still won't let you down. [Chorus – Both] Both: Maybe where we belong Ain't a place on any map, Maybe it's a front porch And the sound of somebody coming back. Maybe it's your hand in mine When the road gets hard and long, If you're standing here beside me, Baby, that's where we belong. [Verse 3 – Call & Response] Male: We've had days when the rain wouldn't stop falling— Female: And nights when we didn't know what to do. Male: We've had dreams that took a little longer— Female: But I never stopped believing in you. Male: We've watched the years roll past the window— Female: Seen the seasons come and go— Both: But every mile we've traveled together Just brought us closer to home. [Chorus – Both] Maybe where we belong Ain't a place on any map, Maybe it's a front porch And the sound of somebody coming back. Maybe it's your hand in mine When the road gets hard and long, If you're standing here beside me, Baby, that's where we belong. [Bridge – Female Lead] Female: When we're old and gray someday, And these young years have moved along, If I can still hear you laughing, I'll know exactly where I belong. [Male joins] Male: And if I get one wish left When this old road finally ends... Female: I'd choose this life... Male: This love... Both: And I'd choose you again. [Final Chorus – Both, Gentle Communal Lift] Maybe where we belong Ain't a place on any map, Maybe it's a front porch And the sound of somebody coming back. Maybe it's your hand in mine When the road gets hard and long, If you're standing here beside me, Baby, that's where we belong. [Background Voices – Soft Community Harmony] Where we belong... Where we belong... [Both] Yeah, if you're standing here beside me, Baby, that's where we belong. [Outro – Acoustic Guitar & Fiddle] Female, softly: Guess we found it. Male: Yeah... Both: Right here.
