Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Clocking out at five o’clock Dusty boots on the sidewalk Bought a bench at the yard sale Rusty hinges and a bent nail Found a scrap in the third drawer Hiding there since seventy-four Scent of peaches on the page Yellowed thin with a little age [Chorus] Oh it’s written in a cursive flow A secret from a long time ago Cinnamon dust on my work gloves Tracing back a hidden love Sweet summer on a screen porch Carrying a flickering torch Sugar and the golden crust Waking up the memories and dust [Verse] Took it down to Miller’s Lane Asked the folks about the name Old man Pete just shook his head “Best pie in the state,” he said Sun-faded doors and cricket hums Gathering up the local crumbs Every neighbor had a piece to tell Of a kitchen ghost they knew so well [Pre-Chorus] Flour on the counter like a light snow Watching all the evening shadows grow The oven light is a steady glow That’s where the missing pieces go [Chorus] Oh it’s written in a cursive flow A secret from a long time ago Cinnamon dust on my work gloves Tracing back a hidden love Sweet summer on a screen porch Carrying a flickering torch Sugar and the golden crust Waking up the memories and dust [Bridge] Rolling dough out thin and wide Keeping all the heat inside Mandolin strings start to play Chasing all the ghosts away Kitchen filled with a heavy sweet Bringing back the summer heat [Verse] Walked it over to Grandma’s place Saw the light shine on her face She touched the ink with a trembling hand Like a map of a promised land “That’s my sister’s loop on the P” She whispered low as she looked at me Forty years since she passed away But she’s right here in the room today [Chorus] Oh it’s written in a cursive flow A secret from a long time ago Cinnamon dust on my work gloves Tracing back a hidden love Sweet summer on a screen porch Carrying a flickering torch Sugar and the golden crust Waking up the memories and dust [Post-Chorus] Just a recipe for peach pie Underneath a country sky Just a recipe for peach pie Watching all the years go by [Outro]
