[Verse 1]
Pull up that old porch chair
Set your stories down by mine
Coffee stains on Sunday cups
Lipstick prints and passing time
You say you still miss Houston
I admit I miss him too
We pass the sugar, pass the years
Like we always do
[Chorus]
Ladies in their eighties, friends for life
Lines on our faces, proof we survived
Come sit with me, talk about days long gone
Those good and bad, every right, every wrong
We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, feel that soft breeze
Sun sliding low through the maple trees
Till the sky fades out of blue into night
Ladies in their eighties, still holding tight
[Verse 2]
Remember that red prom dress
Duct tape on your broken heel
We snuck out past the kitchen door
Hearts too loud to keep concealed
We raised kids and casseroles
Buried rings and buried pride
Still somehow we’re side by side
On the same old ride
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We traded heels for house shoes
Slow dances for slow walks
But every wrinkle’s just a chapter
Every tremble, still our talk
[low vocal register] When the names start slipping
We’ll hold on to what we can
Your hand in mine on this old bench
That’s the part that stands
[Chorus]
