River Bend House (version 2)

Verse

Old screen door creaks on a hinges of rust

Granma's rocking chair still sitting soft

The porch light hums like it's keeping time

Same three steps down to the same creek line

Pre-Chorus

Something out there past the pine and stone

Waiting for me when I'm not home

Chorus

River Bend House, don't you ever change

That gravel driveway where the sun sets long

The porch swing creaks a lullaby I know

This old house knows every story it holds

Verse

Daddy's toolbox stacked like a monument

Momma's recipe book still by the stove

Barefoot summers spent chasing fireflies

A screen door slam and this whole place turns loose

Pre-Chorus

Something out there past the pine and stone

Waiting for me when I'm not home

Chorus

River Bend House, don't you ever change

That gravel driveway where the sun sets long

The porch swing creaks a lullaby I know

This old house knows every story it holds

Bridge

I got a map of the whole county tacked up on the wall

Every dirt road, every creek bed we ever called home

Maybe it's just dust but I swear I feel you near

River Bend House never lets me disappear

Chorus

River Bend House, don't you ever change

That gravel driveway where the sun sets long

The porch swing creaks a lullaby I know

This old house knows every story it holds
