She was standin’ in the kitchen
Hair up in a twist
Sunlight through the window
Hit her like a wish
She said, “Baby, tell me somethin’
Don’t you dodge or shove—
After all these crazy years…
Do you still love me?”
I leaned back in my old chair
Scratched my chin and said,
“Well…”
(🔥 Music drops. Beat pauses.)
Well… I love you more than Friday night lights
More than cold beer after long work nights
More than huntin’ season, more than my dog
More than that old truck I swore I’d never trade off
Girl I love you deeper than a southern drawl
Longer than that county fair Ferris wheel stall
You scared me half to death when you asked me that
But yeah… I love you more than all that.
She crossed her arms, said
“You better choose your words”
I said, “Hold on darlin’,
Let a man search.”
You know I love you more than biscuits
And gravy on a plate
More than mama’s cast iron
And fishin’ at the lake.
She said, “Boy don’t test me.”
I just grinned and said,
“Well…”
Well… I love you more than tailgate songs
More than Sunday naps that last too long
More than deer camp stories that grow each year
More than my buddies when they need a beer
Girl I love you steady, strong and true
Even when you steal the blankets too
You think I’m jokin’, but here’s the truth—
I’d choose you over everything I do.
(Softer, heartfelt)
You’re the porch light waitin’
When I’m runnin’ late
You’re the prayer I whisper
Before every break
Yeah I tease you, baby
Just to see you smile
But lovin’ you’s the best thing
I’ve done in my whole life.
(No pause this time)
I love you more than sunrise gold
More than silver rings and growing old
More than every mile we’ve traveled through
Every fight we fought and made it through
Girl there ain’t no “well” about it now
Ain’t no doubt, no if, no how
If you’re askin’ me forever
I’m already yours somehow.
