My Rockin' Chair

Intro

(creak-creak) rockin' slow

(yeah) on the porch, where the wild winds blow

Verse

Sittin' here with the evenin' glow

Wood's all splintered, but it holds me close

Stories carved in every knot and grain

Years of laughin', cryin' in the rain

Mama rocked me when I was small

Daddy fixed ya up when ya started to fall

Now it's just us, swayin' side to side

Watchin' fireflies dance in the firefly light

Chorus

Oh my rockin' chair, rock me steady

Through the storms and the sunny days already

Creak-creak, back and forth we go

My old friend, you steal the show

Rock me, rock me, don't you stop

In my rockin' chair, I ain't lettin' go

(rock me, rock me) yeah, hold me tight

My rockin' chair, through the dead of night

Verse

Memories flood like a river runnin' deep

Lost loves leavin', promises they couldn't keep

Kids grew up and flew far away

But you're still here at the end of the day

Porch light flickerin', crickets sing along

We got rhythm in this old front yard song

Squeakin' timbers tellin' tales untold

Keepin' secrets better than silver or gold

Chorus

Oh my rockin' chair, rock me steady

Through the storms and the sunny days already

Creak-creak, back and forth we go

My old friend, you steal the show

Rock me, rock me, don't you stop

In my rockin' chair, I ain't lettin' go

(rock me, rock me) yeah, hold me tight

My rockin' chair, through the dead of night

Bridge

One day they'll find us both out here

Covered in dust, but without a fear

(yeah, yeah) swayin' eternal, you and me

Rockin' forever, wild and free

Chorus

Oh my rockin' chair, rock me steady

Through the storms and the sunny days already

Creak-creak, back and forth we go

My old friend, you steal the show

Rock me, rock me, don't you stop (don't stop)

In my rockin' chair, I ain't lettin' go

(rock me, rock me) yeah, hold me tight

My rockin' chair, through the dead of night

Outro

(creak-creak) rockin' slow

My rockin' chair... (yeah)

Rock me home... (creak-creak, fade)
