Chest Feel Light

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the cardboard box
Turning the rusted locks
Found a ticket from ‘72
Faded yellow, barely blue
County fair in July heat
Grandma dancing on her feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Screen door creaks a melody
Bringing back those memories
The smell of cut alfalfa hay
Washing all the years away
[Chorus]
Sweet peach pie on a chipped plate
Love is something you can’t fake
She said, “Honey, listen close
To what your heart needs most”
Don’t you follow the heavy night
Chase what makes your chest feel light
[Post-Chorus]
Keep it light, keep it true
Just like she taught you to
Oh, keep it light
[Verse]
Tattered page in her handwriting
Sugar and the spice inviting
Canning jars lined up in rows
That’s how a summer garden grows
Fireflies in the backyard grass
Watching all the shadows pass
[Pre-Chorus]
The pedal steel begins to cry
Underneath a wide-open sky
I can almost hear her voice
Telling me I have a choice
[Chorus]
Sweet peach pie on a chipped plate
Love is something you can’t fake
She said, “Honey, listen close
To what your heart needs most”
Don’t you follow the heavy night
Chase what makes your chest feel light
[Bridge]
The world gets loud and heavy too
But I’ve got a piece of you
In the steam of the kitchen air
In the way I fix my hair
I’m letting go of what I don’t need
Planting a brand new kind of seed
[Solo]
[Chorus]
Sweet peach pie on a chipped plate
Love is something you can’t fake
She said, “Honey, listen close
To what your heart needs most”
Don’t you follow the heavy night
Chase what makes your chest feel light
[Post-Chorus]
Keep it light, keep it true
Just like she taught you to
Oh, keep it light
Yeah, keep it light
[Outro]
