Smoky Mountain Late Nights

[Verse 1]
Late nights, early mornings
Steam rollin’ off my coffee cup
Sun sneakin’ through the pine trees
Dust risin’ from that pick-up truck
Log cabin on the hillside
Smoke twistin’ from the stone chimney
Boots by the front door
This old porch swing keepin’ time with me
[Chorus]
Late nights, early mornings in the Smoky Mountains
Laugh lines, cheap wine, jar full of that glowin’ fire
Bear knockin’ on the front door like a rowdy neighbor (hey!)
We’re dancin’ in the kitchen, hearts gettin’ wilder
From the cabin to the white chapel choir
Late nights, early mornings and I’m never gettin’ tired
[Verse 2]
Moonshine in a mason
Label peeled from some old beer
You’re hummin’ Sunday hymns
While you’re drawin’ my face near
White chapel on the gravel road
Bell rings through the valley air
We’re prayin’ we got each other
More than we ever cared what we wear
[Chorus]
Late nights, early mornings in the Smoky Mountains
Laugh lines, cheap wine, jar full of that glowin’ fire
Bear knockin’ on the front door like a rowdy neighbor (oh yeah)
We’re dancin’ in the kitchen, hearts gettin’ wilder
From the cabin to the white chapel choir
Late nights, early mornings and I’m never gettin’ tired
[Bridge]
If that bear comes back, let him knock, let him holler
We’ll be layin’ low, countin’ blessings, countin’ dollars
Pick-up in the driveway, rings on our hands
White chapel in the distance, we already made our plans
[Chorus]
Late nights, early mornings in the Smoky Mountains
Laugh lines, cheap wine, jar full of that glowin’ fire
Bear knockin’ on the front door like a rowdy neighbor
We’re dancin’ in the kitchen, hearts gettin’ wilder
From the cabin to the white chapel choir
Late nights, early mornings and I’m never gettin’ tired

country, Upbeat pop-country groove with bright acoustic guitars, steady kick, and handclaps; male vocals riding an energetic pocket. Fiddles and mandolin add rustic color, bass keeps it bouncing. Big, chant-along chorus with stacked harmonies; bridge drops to half-time with soft pads and organ, then snaps back into a final, triumphant hook., pop
