Better Off Barefoot

Verse

Gravel drive still warm from June

Porch light hummin' that same old tune

Screen door slappin' out a lazy beat

Sweet tea sweatin' at my feet

Your truck radio losin' the station

Static and steel guitar patient

We don't need no reason at all

Just this dirt road and the sun startin' to fall

Pre-Chorus

So why chase some clock

When the good's already here

Why watch it stop

When we could just stay near

Chorus

I'm better off barefoot

In this backyard forever

Grass stains and gold light

Holdin' on to whatever

This feels like it don't need fixin'

So I ain't lettin' go

I'm better off barefoot

With you and this glow

Verse

Mason jar catchin' lightnin' bugs

Your hand findin' mine like it always was

Cornfields hummin' a hush and a hymn

Fireflies blinkin' where the dark gets thin

Nobody's callin', no phone gonna ring

Just cicadas and a rusted porch swing

Kick my shoes off in the cool wet clover

Don't wanna wait till this summer's over

Pre-Chorus

So why chase some clock

When the good's already here

Why watch it stop

When we could just stay near

Chorus

I'm better off barefoot

In this backyard forever

Grass stains and gold light

Holdin' on to whatever

This feels like it don't need fixin'

So I ain't lettin' go

I'm better off barefoot

With you and this glow

Bridge

Maybe years from now I'll still smell the rain

On that gravel road, feel it all again

Won't need a photograph, won't need a song

Just this feelin' right here to hold onto long

Chorus

I'm better off barefoot

In this backyard forever

Grass stains and gold light

Holdin' on to whatever

This feels like it don't need fixin'

So I ain't lettin' go

I'm better off barefoot

With you and this glow
