Gravel

(Album: Tougher - 2016)

I was standing in the driveway waiting on our first date
When you come rolling in about twenty minutes late
But I knew your good intentions won't hold any mention
Of any kind of rising gossip somebody might have to say
'Cause the word around town
Was your bank account's down
To a few coins in a jar
But the view from here was perfectly clear
I saw a little waiting in the yard

And I was like, so what? I don't give a damn
About a a big-ass ring on my hand
We ain't gotta have a whole lotta money, honey
And I all I want is a home to come home to
Somebody to kiss, baby don't you
Ever start to wonder if times get tough
I'd hate life on a silver platter
Love looks better standing in the gravel

It's been 27 months and I never been more ready
Think it's time we give it a try
Well, we been talking 'bout making this thing forever
Please tell me you ain't waiting on the perfect time
You said if I could give you the moon and the stars
I'd make a diamond-cut chandelier
We'd be talking 'bout our anniversary
Celebrating our one-year

And I was like, so what? I don't give a damn
About a a big-ass ring on my hand
We ain't gotta have a whole lotta money, honey
And I all I want is a home to come home to
Somebody to kiss, baby don't you
Ever start to wonder if times get tough
Well, I'd hate life on a silver platter
Love looks better standing in the gravel

And happiness ain't got no price, no
And I don't need no fortune to drink a bottle of wine

And I was like, so what? I don't give a damn
About a a big-ass ring on my hand
We ain't gotta have a whole lotta money, honey
And I all I want is a home to come home to
Somebody to kiss, baby don't you
Ever start to wonder if times get tough
Well, I'd hate life on a silver platter
Love looks better standing in the gravel

Little bit of dirt never seemed to matter
Love looks better standing in the gravel
Oh, in the gravel
