Ten years from now

[Verse 1] That porch light’s still burnin’ on our old street Same swing creaks in the southern heat There’s your name on the mailbox sign And mine’s just faded from the edge of time [Verse 2] That truck I said I’d fix still don’t run Just sits there missin’ what it could’ve done Like me, it’s stuck in yesterday Where I let love slip away [Pre-Chorus] Could’ve chased you down, could’ve said what’s true But I was stubborn, babe, and so were you [Chorus] Ten years from now, I’ll be sittin’ here Same ol’ bar, same ol’ beer Still hear your laugh like a song on the breeze Still see your taillights through whiskey dreams I got a house, but it don’t feel like home Just four walls where I’m growin’ old Yeah, the truth’s still heavy somehow… Ten years from now [Instrumental Break] (Brief guitar fill – 8 bars) [Verse 3] You’re probably somewhere with a kid or two Tellin’ 'em stories I once told you I bet he loves you like I never did And I don’t blame you for callin’ it quits [Pre-Chorus] They say time heals, but I ain’t fine Just better at pretendin’ I’m alright [Chorus] Ten years from now, I’ll still rewind Every could’ve-been that crossed my mind You’ll be a photo in a worn-out frame And I’ll still be shouldering the blame I got a dog, got a porch, got a view But none of it matters without you And I’ll be haunted anyhow… Ten years from now [Bridge] So raise a glass to the man I was The one who broke what he called love If I could go back, I swear somehow— I’d hold you now [Final Chorus] But ten years from now, I’ll just be here Playin’ your voice like vinyl, clear Wishin’ I’d stayed, wishin’ you knew All the roads still lead to you I might smile, I might get by But I’ll never say goodbye 'Cause some things time won’t allow… Even ten years from now [Outro] Yeah, some things time won’t allow... Ten years from now
