LYRIC FOR SALE

By Melissa Mashburn

Verse 1

We were barefoot in red clay, summer in our skin

Rusted porch swing, radio playing’ again

Pine trees lined the road like they knew our names

Trailer park dreams but it still felt safe

Daddy said, “Baby, when I’m gone someday

Don’t you cry too hard, don’t you run away

Just look for me where the shadows shine

Meet me under that Georgia pine”







Pre-Chorus

Life was heavy but love was strong

We didn’t have much, but we had home

And even now when I close my eyes

I still hear his voice in the quiet night







Chorus

Meet me under that Georgia pine

Where the world slowed down and you were still mine

With a beer in your hand and a half-smile grin

Sayin’ “Girl, you made it… I knew you would”

Meet me under that Georgia pine

Where the hurt let's go and the peace feels right

If Heaven’s close, I know I’ll find

Your heart still waiting’ under that Georgia pine







Verse 2

Trailer’s gone now, just the trees remain

But I walked that land in the pouring rain

Held your ashes close, whispered your name

Didn’t care what the rules said, it felt the same

‘Cause love doesn’t live in a line of law

It lives where we laid our broken hearts

And if you’re anywhere, I know the sign

You’re waiting’ on me under that Georgia pine
