The pines down there are getting lonely I think they need a friend If you bring the company, then I'll find the land Maybe I'm too dumb to know how growing up goes But what's good about your youthful eyes, is we'll never grow old And by the way I just want a home But I've never seen somebody build one all on their own And I I know love gets cold Not ours but if it should I already set out the firewood Do you ever just sit and wonder what our lives could be like Dancing with the lightning bugs that replace the porch light Just know my mama's gonna live, at least somewhat near But I promise you we're far enough where nobody will find us here Just so you know I just want a home But I've never seen somebody build one all on their own And I I know love gets cold Not ours but if it should I already set out the firewood If only I could make the drive all those hours away Where the honeysuckles' sweetness don't compare to what you'll say When I show up after all the times I've left you all alone And you'll know longer worry about What's gonna warm your home I want a home But I've never seen somebody build one all on their own And I I know love gets cold Not ours but if it should I already set out the firewood

Light a match and throw it at the fuse Run away and hope I can get a view I remember how beautiful it was Blindfold on I can drive to her old house Go from there to all three surrounding towns I remember every rock and every turn I can't remember the last time that my prayers weren't broken I send 'em up, they come back down as a blessing I'm ignoring The crowded road praises me cuz I'm starting to lose The part of me that never praised My broken hallelujahs John pointed at the ripples in the glass Notice how stillness never lasts The calmest of my life was at that pond So lay me down by the Zebco on the ground To me, cicadas are heaven's sound I recall being healed by that song Now I don't know the last time that my prayers weren't broken I send 'em up, they come back down as a blessing I'm ignoring The crowded road praises me cuz I'm starting to lose The part of me that never praised My broken hallelujahs I remember the last time I found myself broken All I've known for way too long is struggling to sew it Every sunrise is one more day I'm fighting not to lose Cuz now they all love a man Who broke his Hallelujahs Broken Hallelujahs

I Hit the brakes at a stoplight on one eighty-three First time I ever drove was in his old red Chevy He said let's get your grandma, she'll want to see this too And if you get into school, I'll give this truck to you Did you know you're the best I ever saw? I think this year you're gonna win it all Your daddy's got a real good team But you're the only one that matters to me Oh but maybe if I close my eyes Say a prayer then it'll be alright Wake up to a smiling sun But the songbirds remember what they saw last night He wiped a tear from his eye As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind I know it was late but did ya see the game last night? Tied at 34 into overtime. Man we were so tough, you should've seen us fight We brought it to 'em like you taught me my whole life Oh but maybe if I close my eyes Say a prayer then it'll be alright Wake up to a smiling sun But the songbirds remember what they saw last night I wiped a tear from my eye As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind I sang his favorite song for everyone he loved Made it through one verse of Brooks and Dunn Then my tough ran out Like it always does So I sat there crying while I barely strummed Oh but maybe if I close my eyes Say a prayer then it'll be alright Wake up to a smiling sun But the songbirds remember what they saw last night Well maybe if I close my eyes A prayer will make it feel alright Wake up to a shining sun But songbirds remember what they saw last night I wipe a tear from my eye As I drove ol red, and left Lampasas behind

Well it's getting late, it's getting dark And there's light showing up from a million stars The clouds are heavy I think the light Is coming from you It's been raining for a month it seems But in here it's warm as kerosene Cuz all the tears are from the sky this time and not your eyes But as time starts going by And my adrenaline fades, I'll still chase that life When a guy like me begs for An Angel like you Beat up, broken down, down, down is gonna have to do Don't mind me I'm just tryna cross your view I just want to be something to an Angel like you It's so innocent, a washed kind of red Like a light love song that won't leave your head Did I ever tell you darling that's my favorite kind? I feel like I know a lot about you Like where your mama's from, your favorite things to do But let me tell you a little bit about myself I won't ever quit Running your way like I've been heaven sent When a guy like me begs for An Angel like you Beat up, broken down, down, down is gonna have to do Don't mind me I'm just tryna cross your view I just want to be something to an Angel like you And I see you try so hard To be too good for a less-than-average heart When a guy like me begs for An Angel like you Beat up, broken down, down, down is gonna have to do Don't mind me I'm just tryna cross your view I just want to be something to an Angel like you An Angel like you
