lyrics

(instrumental)

You've had it in your pocket since July
I saw the shape of it, I didn't say
You took it out four times and put it back
And I have been so patient, and I'm not that way

Forty minutes down the highway (down the highway)
Every Friday since the spring
I have worn a groove into that road
Waiting on you doing anything

Say it on the porch, on the porch
Say it while the moth's still on the light
Say it on the porch, on the porch
Or I'm gonna say it first tonight

Your mother's got the good plates out again
She's had them out since April, that's a sign
She keeps not asking me my business
Which in this family is a valentine

(key change up)
I already said yes. Three weeks ago. In my head.
On the level crossing outside Miller's Bend.
So take your time. I've got nowhere else to be.

Say it on the porch, on the porch
Say it while the moth's still on the light
Say it on the porch, on the porch
Or I'm gonna say it first tonight

(on the porch...)
