Keys to the Country Swing

[Intro]
Kickin' back on the porch, watch the sunset gleam
Holdin' on to secrets, like some old country dream

[Verse 1]
You think you can hurt me with words so cold
But I’ve heard 'em all before, stories that grow old
I won’t raise my voice, I won’t fall apart
Just listen close, I got a steel-bound heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're watchin', thinkin’ you’re in the lead
But I got the key, and baby, I believe
You say you push the limits, try to break my soul
But I’ve got the patience, and I won’t lose control

[Chorus]
Take the key, turn it ‘round, see what it’s like
Laugh at the thunder, ride the wild nights
Every word you throw, I just smile and sway
In this country swing, I’ll find my way

[Verse 2]
You can toss those words, like a coin in the air
They don’t stick, baby, I ain’t living in your snare
I got a song in my soul, a rhythm so true
Hear the whistle blowin’, that’s me breakin’ through

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're watchin’, thinkin’ you’re in the lead
But I got the key, and baby, I believe
You say you push the limits, try to break my soul
But I’ve got the patience, and I won’t lose control

[Chorus]
Take the key, turn it ‘round, see what it’s like
Laugh at the thunder, ride the wild nights
Every word you throw, I just smile and sway
In this country swing, I’ll find my way

[Bridge]
Guitar pickin’ under blue lights
Dancin’ away all the lonely nights
Hold my ground, let the music play
M M swing, it’ll never fade away

[Outro]
So go ahead, speak your mind, let it roll on by
I’m just sittin’ here, watchin’ the stars in the sky
Got the key, and I know just how to use it right
In this country swing, I find my light
