Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was set in my ways
You came in like spring rain
Not a lightning strike
Just a door left open wide
You had that calm in your eyes
Like you’d seen hard miles too
And I knew right then
I’d been waiting on you
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the table’s got three plates
And the house has got your laugh
You make a hard week soften
Just by coming home at last
[Chorus]
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You make this whole life glow
Best friend, my lover, my home
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You’re the heart I didn’t know
And I thank God every day I know you
[Verse 2]
You lace up little shoes
Tie up the morning rush
Pack the lunches, wipe the tears
And still you give me your touch
When the world leans heavy
You stand steady in the wind
You hold this family up
Then you come hold me again
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve got a quiet kind of power
That I feel in my bones
When my hands start shaking
You keep me steady as stone
[Chorus]
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You make this whole life glow
Best friend, my lover, my home
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You’re the heart I didn’t know
And I thank God every day I know you
[Bridge]
I met you later on
But it feels like always
Like my whole road led me
To your front porch days
For every scar you’ve carried
For every storm you’ve braved
I’ll be right here loving you
Through all our laughs and all our gray
[Chorus]
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You make this whole life glow
Best friend, my lover, my home
Addie Jo, Addie Jo
You’re the heart I didn’t know
And I thank God every day I know you
[Outro]
Addie Jo
My best friend and my home
Addie Jo
I’m grateful I get to know you
