[Verse 1]
She came down the mountain road
With rain on her sleeves
I was leaning on an old truck
By the cedar trees
Red barn standing through the gray
Like it knew our names
And that creek kept on talking
While the thunder sang
[Pre-Chorus]
She laughed at the mud on my boots
Said, "Boy, you look like home"
Then she took my hand real slow
And I knew I wasn't alone
[Chorus]
Marry me by the creek
Marry me by the barn
Marry me where the rain
Keeps washing off our scars
Marry me, my girl
Let the whole world see
Mountains on our back
And our kids by the creek
[Verse 2]
Now the porch light glows at dusk
And the hens are in the yard
Little boots by the doorway
And a dog that barks too hard
That old truck still starts up fine
When the season turns
And the same red barn still holds
Every lesson that we learned
[Pre-Chorus]
She says the house ain't rich
But it's full of grace
With a table set for supper
And a smile on every face
[Chorus]
Marry me by the creek
Marry me by the barn
Marry me where the rain
Keeps washing off our scars
Marry me, my girl
Let the whole world see
Mountains on our back
And our kids by the creek
[Bridge]
If the sky comes down again
We'll stand and let it pour
We built this life on little things
And we want for nothing more
[Final Chorus]
Marry me by the creek
Marry me by the barn
Marry me where the rain
Keeps washing off our scars
Marry me, my girl
Let the whole world see
Mountains on our back
And our kids by the creek
Marry me by the creek
Marry me by the creek
