Love Outside of Town

Dust on my boots, rodeo lights fading slow Another small town, nowhere left to go Band struck a chord in a wooden hallin Then I saw you laughing by the wall I ring up change at the general store Same front porch since I was four But that night felt different in every way When a cowboy asked me to dance and stay Two strangers spinning on a hardwood floor Feeling like we’d met somewhere before We found forever in a small town night Under firefly light Two hearts chasing the same sunrise Dreaming out loud under open skies We didn’t know how, but we knew somehow Love was calling us right then and now From first slow dance to sacred vows We’re building forever now She said she’d never left county lines But she wanted mountains and pines Said “I’m ready to trade safe roads for wild” I said “I’m ready to settle down and stay awhile” We talked all night under painted stars Dreaming futures from the hood of my car Town lights glowing in the valley below Wondering which direction love would go Stay in town or chase pine trees Either way, you’re home to me We found forever in a small town night Under firefly light Two hearts chasing the same sunrise Dreaming out loud under open skies We didn’t know how, but we knew somehow Love was calling us right then and now From first slow dance to sacred vows We’re building forever now Little cabin just outside of town White porch swing where the sun goes down Morning coffee, fence line dreams Two small boots by the doorway beams Laughter echoing through the years Fishing lines and bedtime prayers We found forever in a small town night Under firefly light Two hearts chasing the same sunrise Dreaming out loud under open skies We didn’t know how, but we knew somehow Love was calling us right then and now From first slow dance to sacred vows We’re building forever now Silver hair in the sunset glow Watching grandchildren run below Same front porch, same hand in mine Still dancing through the hands of time
