Plant Our Roots Lyrics

The first drop of sunlight creeps through my eyes

I'm greeted with the smell of coffee and your smile

The day's a blank canvas, so grab your paintbrush

There's a world of possibilities and there's no rush

We can unpack the boxes or leave them there for weeks

We can move in the furniture or go back to sleep

We can leave the water running, take a nice long shower

Avoid all our chores and watch TV for hours

It doesn't matter what we do

We found a place off of a Dreamers Avenue

We found a place to call home and raise a couple babies

Sit on the porch, and grow into our eighties

A place to hang my hat, a place to leave my boots

A little house just for me and for you

After all these years of being bandits on the loose

We finally found a place to plant our roots

We can hang up the pictures from the day we said I do

We can paint the front door baby blue, cause who can tell us not to

We can put up the Christmas tree in the middle of September

Sit on the back porch with a Gibson and a Fender

It doesn't matter what we do

Our dreams have finally come true

We have a place to call home and raise a couple babies

Sit on the porch and grow into our eighties

A place to hang my hat, a place to leave my boots

A little house just for me and for you

After all these years of being bandits on the loose

We finally found a place to plant our roots

We can sit and watch the world from our rocking chairs

Every passing car a memory that we'll always share

The arthritis in these fingers shows the seeds we grew

So when I die bury me beside you

In the place where we planted our roots
