Well-Spent Time

(album: Welcome To Countryland - 2021)

Put on that secondhand dress and your red lipstick
Got a bottle of Yellow Tail and a sunset with your name on it
We ain't gotta break the bank to make a memory
All I need is in you, All you need is in me
My heart flutters as you smell your backyard bouquet
"If I told you you're the prettiest of the flowers would it be cliché?"
You smile and say, "Boy, you just keep your eyes on the road.
We got a long night ahead of us, let's see where it goes."

Some things money can't buy
Like a hopeful heart and a watchful eye
Living costs a pretty dime
But loving, it don't cost nothing, just a free and open mind
And a little bit of well-spent time

You shine brighter than Saturn, standing there laughing
With a mason jar lightning bug lantern
We shed the worries of the world one laugh at a time
Share a joke, and a smoke, and sip cheap wine

Some things money can't buy
Like a hopeful heart and a watchful eye
Living costs a pretty dime
But loving, it don't cost nothing, just a free and open mind
And a little bit of well-spent time

Laying beneath a blanket of stars out in the country land
It feels like we're sitting in the palm of God's great hand
A starlit angel wrangles from this callused man
All those feelings that make life worth living
Babe you make life worth living
Right now I really feel like I'm living on well-spent time

Some things money can't buy
Like a hopeful heart and a watchful eye
Living costs a pretty dime
But loving don't cost nothing, just a free and open mind
And a little bit of well-spent time
Just a little bit of well-spent time

Put on your secondhand dress and your red lipstick
Got forever and a sunset with your name on it
