Bless Our Hearts

Just like the nights that are too busy
I want to be you're GPS, take you to the backroads when you need me
Take you home underneath those Southern stars
That you forgot about

And when the cold drinks become ice
I'm that summer breeze blowing through, the smell of pine trees and moonlight
Bring you back to back tailgates in red mud
Field parties gone too loud

Something in you says these city lights have gone too bright
Something speaks in your voice of broken old taillights
Just fall into a old creek crying your name
In a country haze

And I haven't broken nothing you own yet
So let your heart just remember all the things you strove to forget
And I let you hold my hand on that dark winter night
Baby, we'll be alright
Yeah we'll be alright
The country blesses our hearts tonight

Don't you remember your first fall night kiss
Back in the woods of Southside, in that leave-less mist?
And a sweet girl with brown camo eyes
Calling your name tonight?

Once before I let some fool hold onto what we called love
I held him in an amber silence, in a full moon hug
But as the lights dimmed I saw too clear
Whiskey is all that I feared

So in these twisting old roads home, didn't you love me?
Didn't I hold all you've ever known?
And in this goodnight embrace we found what's right
In a Georgian night

And I haven't broken nothing you own yet
So let your heart just remember all the things you strove to forget
And I let you hold my hand on that dark winter night
Baby, we'll be alright
Yeah we'll be alright
The country blesses our hearts tonight

And I haven't broken nothing you own yet
So let your heart just remember all the things you strove to forget
And I let you hold my hand on that dark winter night
Baby, we'll be alright
Yeah we'll be alright
The country blesses our hearts tonight
