Car Battery Died at Grandma's House

[Intro]
Lonesome yellow porch light, shining in the dusk
Came to help my grandma's dog, a simple kind of luck
Ten minutes from my place, I was rolling on my way
Everything was quiet till I got here today

[Verse 1]
Helped her with her old dog, wagging tail and sleepy eyes
Gave him a quick smile, watched him cozy in him bed
Called my dad on a Sunday, just to say I was okay
Never thought the night would hit the breaks like this today

[Pre-Chorus]
Sun dipped low, and the stars started to glow
Thought I’d be back home, just a couple miles more
Now I’m sitting here, with a sip of old coffee
Waiting on that jump, while the night gets cozy

[Chorus]
My car battery just died at grandma's house
And I’m stranded in the dark, just as quiet as a mouse
Been a few good days, everything was smooth as dawn
Now I’m stuck here waiting while the battery's gone

[Verse 2]
Banjo strums softly, in the lonely midnight air
Thinking 'bout the days, when life moved without a care
Ten minutes from my home, now it feels so far away
Guess the devil’s got a grin, in this unexpected delay

[Pre-Chorus]
Stars blink above, like an old lullaby
Wishing for a quick fix under this velvet sky
Got my heart set, on that flicker of a spark
Waiting on my dad, to get me out of this park

[Chorus]
My car battery just died at grandma's house
And I’m stranded in the dark, just as quiet as a mouse
Been a few good days, everything was smooth as dawn
Now I’m stuck here waiting while the battery's gone

[Bridge]
So I hum a tune, let the night take its course
Simple country night, with no sign of remorse
Just a broken car and a heart a little heavy
But I know tomorrow’s light, already heavy

[Outro]
One jump start away from my lonely little drive
Back to the place where I feel so alive
Till then I’ll sit, in this peaceful hush
Waiting for dawn, and the morning rush

Country, acoustic guitar and banjo, mellow and story-driven
