The Finer Things Lyrics

Afternoon corner seat

Two Long Islands hold the tea

We are right where we're supposed to be

It's your smile and shining eyes

Takes me close to paradise

You say what more could we really need?

I'd trade a Maserati full of gas for a beat up six string & a photograph

Of us when we were seventeen so young

They can cling all their riches I'll take a sink that's full of dishes

One day we might miss this right?

The older I get the more that I start to see

The finer things in life are free

Afternoon corner seat

Friends that feel like family

And we are right where we're supposed to be

Asking how's your mom and dad

Inside jokes the waiter laughs

And you say what more could we really need?

I know that life could take it all away

Like an empty bottle of our favorite rosé

And that's okay

We could be all dressed up take on the town

Or stay at home when the lights go out

As long as we can keep each other company

The older I get the more that I start to see

The finer things in life are free

Afternoon corner seat

Back porch full of memories

An empty chair where he's supposed to be

All this time I've been praying

Searching for a message in the stars

And I'm still waiting

So keep your caviar your diamond rings

To see my granddad next to me

I wanna hold on to the things I really need

It's the good the bad the mystery the million little fragile things

That kinda start to look like a masterpiece

The older I get the more that I start to see

If all I have's this life in front of me

Then the finer things in life are still free
