[Chorus: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, belted, full band]
Love you forty feet high
Lit up loud at the edge of the county line
Let 'em slow down, let 'em stare
Love you forty feet high in the open air

[Verse 2: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, bigger, strings rise]
Tuesday morning, two men on a ladder in the cold
Rolling out the paper like a carpet made of gold
Lady at the gas pumps dropped her coffee on the lot
Pastor slowed his truck to read it twice and then he stopped
And you came out of the bakery with flour on your sleeve
Looked up at the letters and you couldn't quite believe
Every word you wanted me to say where they could hear
Forty feet of red on white and every letter clear

[Bridge: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lamps come on at dusk, lionhearted, belted over full band and strings]
Sun goes down on Route Nine
And the lamps come on, one, two, three, four
Every letter of your name on fire
And mine below it, and we don't hide no more

[Verse 3: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, full voice, heavy drums]
Under yours I signed my own name, first and middle and last
Same name that they used to say behind me when I passed
Let 'em say it to my face now, let 'em read it off the sign
Thirty days I paid for, and I'll pay it every time
Take my hand outside the grocery, take it at the fair
Take it in the front pew if the pastor wants to stare
Seven years I kept it quiet, now the whole road knows
Every truck that passes by is reading how it goes

[Outro: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, piano and strings ring out]
Forty feet high
Read it twice

[End]

[Verse 1: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, belted, heavy drums under piano] Seven years of letting go your hand outside the grocery store Seven years of saying roommate when the neighbors asked what for Seven years of Sundays with the sign out on Route Nine Telling every driver how to live in big black Bible lines So I saved up for six months, every tip and every shift Called the number on the bottom, said I've got a gift Man said what's the message, ma'am, and I said write it plain Big as you can make it, and spell out her whole name [Chorus: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, belted, full band] Love you forty feet high Lit up loud at the edge of the county line Let 'em slow down, let 'em stare Love you forty feet high in the open air [Verse 2: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, bigger, strings rise] Tuesday morning, two men on a ladder in the cold Rolling out the paper like a carpet made of gold Lady at the gas pumps dropped her coffee on the lot Pastor slowed his truck to read it twice and then he stopped And you came out of the bakery with flour on your sleeve Looked up at the letters and you couldn't quite believe Every word you wanted me to say where they could hear Forty feet of red on white and every letter clear [Chorus: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, belted, full band] Love you forty feet high Lit up loud at the edge of the county line Let 'em slow down, let 'em stare Love you forty feet high in the open air [Bridge: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lamps come on at dusk, lionhearted, belted over full band and strings] Sun goes down on Route Nine And the lamps come on, one, two, three, four Every letter of your name on fire And mine below it, and we don't hide no more [Verse 3: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, full voice, heavy drums] Under yours I signed my own name, first and middle and last Same name that they used to say behind me when I passed Let 'em say it to my face now, let 'em read it off the sign Thirty days I paid for, and I'll pay it every time Take my hand outside the grocery, take it at the fair Take it in the front pew if the pastor wants to stare Seven years I kept it quiet, now the whole road knows Every truck that passes by is reading how it goes [Chorus: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, belted, full band] Love you forty feet high Lit up loud at the edge of the county line Let 'em slow down, let 'em stare Love you forty feet high in the open air [Outro: Lionhearted window-rattling female vocalist, lionhearted, piano and strings ring out] Forty feet high Read it twice [End]
