A Sweet Little Space (Hit Country Trio's)

[Verse 1]

Mama taught me how to fold my hands

How to listen when the whole room talks

I learned to hold a heavy thing gently

And to walk the long way home

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need a podium or a parade

I just need a porch and a quiet name

[Chorus]

You can be sweet if you want to

You can be kind when it's hard

You can be soft in a sharp town

Give your peace out in the yard

(You can be sweet)

Ain't no medal for the gentle

Ain't no trophy for the grace

But the world gets a little lighter

When you leave a little space

(You can be sweet)

[Verse 2]

I've been loud when I didn't mean to

Slammed a door I had to fix by hand

But the ones who love me stayed through it

And that's the love I understand

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need to win a single fight

I just want to sleep good at night

[Chorus]

You can be sweet if you want to

You can be kind when it's hard

You can be soft in a sharp town

Give your peace out in the yard

(You can be sweet)

Ain't no medal for the gentle

Ain't no trophy for the grace

But the world gets a little lighter

When you leave a little space

(You can be sweet)

[Bridge]

I have made a mess of plenty

Left some dishes in the sink

But I showed up for the hurting

And I poured the ones who drink

(Oh-oh)

[Chorus]

You can be sweet if you want to

You can be kind when it's hard

You can be soft in a sharp town

Give your peace out in the yard

(You can be sweet)

Ain't no medal for the gentle

Ain't no trophy for the grace

But the world gets a little lighter

When you leave a little space

(You can be sweet)

[Post-Chorus]

Be sweet be sweet

(Be sweet be sweet)

Be sweet be sweet

(Be sweet be sweet)

[Chorus]

You can be sweet if you want to

You can be kind when it's hard

Be the purest thing in a dark room

Be the peace inside the yard

(You can be sweet)
