Copper Creek

[Intro]
[Verse]
Tires humming on the blacktop road
Leaving behind that heavy city load
Three years gone but the air feels right
Rolling in beneath the morning light
Faded flannel hanging on the seat
Gravel crunching underneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Saw the sign for the old bait shop
Knew exactly where I had to stop
Chipped ceramic mug in my right hand
Best coffee in this whole damn land
[Chorus]
Oh take me down to the firefly dock
Where we used to let the summer talk
Diving off the edge into the blue
Chasing every dream we ever knew
Yeah the water's warm and the sky is wide
Got that hometown feeling deep inside
[Post-Chorus]
Back in the pines
Tracing the lines
Of a life I left behind
Yeah I'm doing fine
[Verse]
Called up Jimmy and the boys last night
Told them meet me by the bonfire light
Same old stories from the second grade
Same old trouble that we always made
Worn out tires on a Chevy frame
Nothing here has really stayed the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Stopped for ice at the general store
Heard a bell ring at the wooden door
Saw a shadow by the soda shelf
Could it really be your sweet self?
[Chorus]
Oh take me down to the firefly dock
Where we used to let the summer talk
Diving off the edge into the blue
Chasing every dream we ever knew
Yeah the water's warm and the sky is wide
Got that hometown feeling deep inside
[Bridge]
You turned around with a quiet smile
Said it has been a long and lonely while
I saw the sun dancing in your hair
Like we never left the county fair
Heart started beating like a drum
Knowing that the best is yet to come
[Chorus]
Oh take me down to the firefly dock
Where we used to let the summer talk
Diving off the edge into the blue
Chasing every dream we ever knew
Yeah the water's warm and the sky is wide
Got that hometown feeling deep inside
[Post-Chorus]
Back in the pines
Tracing the lines
Of a life I left behind
Yeah I'm doing fine
[Outro]
