Lyrics
Verse 1
You know the screen door still sticks in JulyAnd the old Ford coughs before it comes aliveI ain't got a mansion on a hillBut you stayed when the cupboards were bare and the checks stood still
Pre‑Chorus
We've had hard miles, we've had good daysYou took my hand and you never looked away
Chorus
So I'll love you when the paint peels off this houseWhen the years put silver in our mouthsWhen the young dreams trade their boots for chairsI'll still be right beside you, woman, I'll be thereIf the whole world turns and the road runs outYou're the one thing I won't live withoutTill my last good morning, till my last goodbyeYou'll be my forever, the rest of my life
Verse 2
You know every scar beneath this shirtEvery word I swallowed when I should've said it firstYou can read my silence from across the roomAnd somehow make a little kitchen feel like coming home soon
Pre‑Chorus
We've bent, not broken, under what we carriedYou made a home out of the life we married
Chorus
So I'll love you when the paint peels off this houseWhen the years put silver in our mouthsWhen the young dreams trade their boots for chairsI'll still be right beside you, woman, I'll be thereIf the whole world turns and the road runs outYou're the one thing I won't live withoutTill my last good morning, till my last goodbyeYou'll be my forever, the rest of my life
Bridge
And when my hands get slow, when my voice gets thinI'll find that front porch and fall in love againNo grand speech, no ring to proveJust this worn-out heart still choosing you
Final Chorus
So I'll love you when the paint peels off this houseWhen the years put silver in our mouthsWhen the young dreams trade their boots for chairsI'll still be right beside you, woman, I'll be thereIf the whole world turns and the road runs outYou're the one thing I won't live withoutTill my last good morning, till my last goodbyeYou'll be my forever, the rest of my life
Outro
You'll be my forever, the rest of my lifeYeah, my forever, the rest of my life
