The Same Old Bridge

Verse 1

Daddy's pocketknife still sits on the shelf

Whittled every Sunday morning for himself

I trace the handle wondering where he'd be

If time hadn't pulled him away from me

That mail truck kicks up a cloud of red

Thunder rumbles way up overhead

Lightning splits the sky across the ridge

I'm still standing on the same old bridge

Chorus

Let me go back where the hay bales

And the crickets sing what the heart knows best

Where front porch coffee tastes like gold

And every story's already told

Give me gravel roads and a fence to mend

A simple life from beginning to end

Let the world spin fast somewhere beyond

I'll be right here where I belong

Verse 2

Momma's quilt is fraying at the seams

Stitched together from a thousand dreams

She'd say baby when the road gets rough

You ain't gotta be so damn tough

The barn roof leaks when the winter comes

But that old wood still holds up the sun

Some things crack but they don't break through

Like the love I learned from watching you

Bridge

I spent years chasing something more

Found my way back to this front door

Turns out the treasure I was looking for

Was waiting here the whole time for sure

Chorus

Let me go back where the hay bales低声

And the crickets sing what the heart knows best

Where front porch coffee tastes like gold

And every story's already told

Give me gravel roads and a fence to mend

A simple life from beginning to end

Let the world spin fast somewhere beyond

I'll be right here where I belong

Outro

Right here

Where I belong
