Lightning In A Jar

Verse 1

I've never been a poet with a silver tongue

Just a regular guy where the sweet tea's swung

My lines come out a little rough and slow

But there's a feeling in my chest that you oughta know

Yeah, the words might get a little tangled up inside

But I'm throwing all my caution to the morning tide

If you're looking for a partner who is steady and true

I've got a whole lot of love lined up for you

Chorus

You be the front porch, I'll be the swing

You be the melody, I'll be the string

You be the midnight, I'll be the spark

Lighting up the shadows when the night gets dark

The world can keep on spinning like a runaway car

But you and me, baby, we're lightning in a jar

Yeah, we're lightning in a jar

Verse 2

You're smooth as a sip of that homemade wine

And I'm just a flathead casting out a line

You're a sunny afternoon on a river bank

I'm the old Ford truck with a full gas tank

We fit right together like a lock and key

Just a couple small-town hearts living wild and free

Every time you smile, well, the engine just hums

Counting down the minutes till the evening comes

Chorus

You be the front porch, I'll be the swing

You be the melody, I'll be the string

You be the midnight, I'll be the spark

Lighting up the shadows when the night gets dark

The world can keep on spinning like a runaway car

But you and me, baby, we're lightning in a jar

Yeah, we're lightning in a jar

Bridge

They can try to mimic what we've got right here

But a love this real only grows through the years

It's a Sunday drive with nowhere to go

Just letting the radio play nice and slow

Chorus

Yeah, you be the front porch, I'll be the swing

You be the melody, I'll be the string

You be the midnight, I'll be the spark

Lighting up the shadows when the night gets dark

The world can keep on spinning like a runaway car

But you and me, baby, we're lightning in a jar

Yeah, we're lightning in a jar

Outro

Just catching that spark...

Holding on tight in the dark.

Yeah, you and me, baby.

Lightning in a jar.
