Lyrics
Verse 1
They paved the two-lane I grew up onPut a chain store where the feed mill stoodSame church steeple, different congregationHalf the pews don’t know the neighborhood [Verse 2]My boy asks why I still fly that faded colorsLike the world’s moved on and left me behindI tell him some things ain’t about the fashionSome things you carry cause they’re part of your spine I ain’t looking for a fight, I just won’t kneelI still say grace and I still mean itCountry’s changing faster than this old heart canBut I ain’t gone and I ain’t greenlitIf tomorrow don’t look like the land I knewI’ll still be standing on the porch with the truth [Verse 3]Hands are slower, back’s a little louderCoffee’s stronger than the whiskey used to beI don’t hate the young, I just miss the simpleWhen a handshake meant more than a screen I ain’t looking for a fight, I just won’t kneelI still say grace and I still mean itCountry’s changing faster than this old heart canBut I ain’t gone and I ain’t greenlitIf tomorrow don’t look like the land I knewI’ll still be standing on the porch with the truth Maybe hope ain’t loud, maybe it’s a porch lightLeft on for whoever finds their way back homeI can’t fix the whole damn map they redrewI can keep this little acre of my own [Final Chorus]I ain’t looking for a fight, I just won’t kneelI still say grace and I still mean itCountry’s changing faster than this old heart canBut I ain’t gone and I ain’t greenlitIf tomorrow don’t look like the land I knewI’ll still be standing on the porch with the truthYeah, I’ll still be here when the sun comes through
