Leave A Mark

(album: Life's Too Short - 2023)

Some say love at nine years old
Is a bucket of bate and a fishing pole
Front row sitting creekside on a bank
Next thing you know, you turn sixteen
It's a pickup truck, three on the tree
First time feeling freedom when it cranks
But nothing hit like when she walked my way
I remember it just like yesterday

A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinking things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
A girl like that can leave a mark

Like little notes left on the fridge
I love you sealed with a kiss
She makes a bad day better with a smile
It could be how she likes her coffee cold
Sing all day, can't carry a note
Or that come and get me look in her eyes

A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinking things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
A girl like that can leave a mark

But nothing hit like when she walked my way
Yeah, time has passed but I still feel the same

A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinking things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
She's like a light that's shining in the dark
A girl like that can leave a mark
Leave a mark
