Mama's Front Door

(album: Where We Started - 2022)

Your mama's front door scared the hell outta me
Marching up to it, just barely sixteen
They said, "Be back by 10," and at 9:54
I kissed you goodnight at your mama's front door

You'd sneak me in and I'd sneak ya out
And we'd cuss that hinge for being too loud
That time we broke up, I forget now what for
But I 'bout broke down your mama's front door

Today it just hit me that I've got some history
With every square inch of that faded brick porch
It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now
And it just keeps changing a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door

Yeah, I've left some flowers on that welcome mat
Showed up unannounced for a talk with your dad
It wasn't a mystery what I was there for
But he gave me his blessing at your mama's front door

Today it just hit me that I've got some history
With every square inch of that faded brick porch
It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now
And it just keeps changing a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door

Oh, oh, oh
At your mama's front door, yeah, yeah

I'm at your mama's front door, had to knock with my knee
Got three crazy kids hanging all over me
When I sat 'em down, my heart fell through the floor
Watching 'em run through your mama's front door

Yeah life just keeps changing a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door
