Old House, Same River (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Dust on the windowsill like nobody's home

Bass line from '83 still stuck in the floorboards down below

Grandma's old boots by the screen door

Screen door rattling just like she used to do before

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it, can you hear it

That same old porch, that same old beat

Something won't let this feeling die

I keep coming back to this one place every time

Chorus

This is where the river bends

Where my daddy learned how to dance and I did too

Every spring the water's wider than the year before

Same old house, still standing tall and warm as ever

Old house, same river, that's all I need

I ain't leaving till it gives me what I came for

Verse

Grandfather's tractor keys on a nail by the door

Same porch swing, different weather, same view of nothing but sky

Neighbor's dog keeps howlin' at every passing truck

Like they're countin' up all the summers we never had enough

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it, can you hear it

That same old porch, that same old beat

Something won't let this feeling die

I keep coming back to this one place every time

Chorus

This is where the river bends

Where my daddy learned how to dance and I did too

Every spring the water's wider than the year before

Same old house, still standing tall and warm as ever

Old house, same river, that's all I need

I ain't leaving till it gives me what I came for

Bridge

Some buildings fold when the winters come

This one holds like a promise kept

I won't sell or trade this patch of ground

Every stone here remembers everything we've found

Chorus

This is where the river bends

Where my daddy learned how to dance and I did too

Every spring the water's wider than the year before

Same old house, still standing tall and warm as ever

Old house, same river, that's all I need

I ain't leaving till it gives me what I came for

Outro

So let it bend a little more tonight

Hold on tight — this feeling won't quit
