Bedrock and Heartaches

Lyrics
I sold that old truck for a ring in a velvet box Traded neon nights for a porch and mismatched socks The jukebox hums a memory of who I used to be But your hand in mine feels like a brand new liberty We’re finding steady ground where the wild grass grows Ignoring how the restless city wind still blows It ain't about the gold or the fame in the frame It's knowing who to call when you're forgetting your name Yeah, we're building a life on a bedrock of truth Passing down the fire from our reckless youth Just a slow-dance rhythm on a heart-shaped floor We don't need the glitter or the open door Just simple values and a love that remains Dancing through the sunlight and the pouring rains My mama said trust is a slow-growing vine You gotta prune the edges to make the fruit shine I kept my secrets guarded like a fortress wall Until you showed me beauty in the way that I fall Now we're planting seeds in the red clay dirt Healing up the pieces that used to hurt Yeah, we're building a life on a bedrock of truth Passing down the fire from our reckless youth Just a slow-dance rhythm on a heart-shaped floor We don't need the glitter or the open door Just simple values and a love that remains Dancing through the sunlight and the pouring rains It’s the damn hard choices that define the man Not just the lucky cards held in the hand I’m choosing you constant, I’m choosing the light Even when the shadows try to claim the night Yeah, we're building a life on a bedrock of truth Passing down the fire from our reckless youth Just a slow-dance rhythm on a heart-shaped floor We don't need the glitter or the open door Just simple values and a love that remains Dancing through the sunlight and the pouring rains Just you and me and the slow-dance track We ain't ever, ever looking back No, we ain't looking back.
