There’s a porch light glow on an old dirt road
Crickets singing soft while the north wind blows
I got your flannel wrapped around my skin
Smells like cedar smoke and where you’ve been
You ain’t the kind that talks real big
But your hands say more every time they fit
Around my waist on a Friday night
Like you’re holding onto your whole damn life
And I fall for you slow like Tennessee rain
Little by little till you’re running through my veins
Like an old vinyl turning in the dark
You got your name written all across my heart
I don’t need diamonds, don’t need gold
Just your arms when the nights get cold
If forever’s just a front porch view
Baby, I could spend forever loving you
Your truck rolls in around midnight
Radio low with those yellow headlights
You kiss my forehead before my lips
Like you already know where my soul lives
Everybody says young love fades
But they ain’t seen the way you pray
For me when I’m hurting, when I can’t stand
You still look at me like I’m heaven-sent
And I fall for you slow like Tennessee rain
Little by little till you’re running through my veins
Like an old hymn humming through the pines
You’re the peace I spent my whole life trying to find
I don’t need diamonds, don’t need gold
Just your heartbeat when we grow old
If forever’s just a front porch view
Baby, I could spend forever loving you
So when my hair turns silver gray
And these hands show every mile and age
Promise me your name’ll still sound sweet
Every time it falls from me
Cause I’ll love you slow like a Sunday song
Long after these wild years are gone
And when the good Lord calls me home someday
I’ll still be loving you that way.
