Gala Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty boots on gravel ground
Six years since that city sound
Green leaves turn to red and gold
Stories that I haven't told
Old gate creaks a familiar song
Where I knew that I belonged
[Pre-Chorus]
Chipped white paint on the old porch swing
Hear the morning bluebirds sing
Found a ticket in my pocket fold
From a night before the world got cold
[Chorus]
Hey there, it’s been a while
Missed that slow and easy smile
Underneath the Gala boughs
Making brand new pinky vows
Caramel apples, sticky sweet
Dirt beneath our tired feet
Home is where the heart can rest
In this orchard, we are blessed
[Verse]
You’re still wearing that denim vest
Putting my old heart to the test
We shared a snack by the tractor wheel
Forgot how good this life could feel
Half-eaten fruit on a wooden crate
Guess it's never really too late
[Pre-Chorus]
Found that stub from the county fair
Smell of autumn in your hair
The city lights were way too bright
I need the stars to guide my night
[Chorus]
Hey there, it’s been a while
Missed that slow and easy smile
Underneath the Gala boughs
Making brand new pinky vows
Caramel apples, sticky sweet
Dirt beneath our tired feet
Home is where the heart can rest
In this orchard, we are blessed
[Bridge]
I ran so far to find a name
But everything here stayed the same
The pedal steel begins to cry
Underneath this Southern sky
I’m staying for the harvest moon
Hope I didn't come too soon
[Breakdown]
Just the banjo and your hand
Walking through our promised land
[Chorus]
Hey there, it’s been a while
Missed that slow and easy smile
Underneath the Gala boughs
Making brand new pinky vows
Caramel apples, sticky sweet
Dirt beneath our tired feet
Home is where the heart can rest
In this orchard, we are blessed
[Post-Chorus]
Gala gold and silver hair
Love is hanging in the air
Back where I’m supposed to be
Just you and the apple tree
[Outro]
