[Verse]
She had a fire and a suitcase full of plans
A highway map and a ticket in her hands
But love came knocking
She let it in
[Prechorus]
Now the oil rigs hum
And the porch light's low
Three acres of earth
Where the grandkids grow
[Chorus]
Three acres and a dream
Chickens in the yard
Laughter in the breeze
Life ain't so hard
She traded her wings for roots in the ground
Three acres and a dream
Where love is found
[Verse 2]
Her hands once wrote letters
Now they plant seeds
Sun on her back
She's got all she needs
The world feels smaller
But her heart grew wide
[Prechorus]
She counts her blessings like stars in the sky
Under the same moon where she kissed him goodbye
[Chorus]
Three acres and a dream
Chickens in the yard
Laughter in the breeze
Life ain't so hard
She traded her wings for roots in the ground
Three acres and a dream
Where love is found
