Final Say

Came home from a long trip of missin’ you yesterday 
I crashed out on the couch where we like to play (with)
Our feet curled up like it’s not the first time for our toes
Funny how it's simple things from which love grows

My guitar was in its spot (so I )
Picked it up and some chords began to talk
Soon my lips were movin and this song came out (with)
A song telling you what I’m about

Love is patient and love is kind
It doesn't brag or show selfish pride 
Sorry I led with feet and toes 
But baby I think you already know (that)
As love should be sincere and all evil brushed away
I’m holdin’ on to what’s good but you girl have final say

Yeah, you have final say

I know I want you and the whole darn thing 
Dial 911 and bring some water to the front porch swing
I’m so serious we may need sweet tea
And please kiss mine with a little JD

Love is patient and love is kind
It doesn't brag or show selfish pride 
Sorry I led with feet and toes 
But baby I think you already know (that)
As love should be sincere and all evil brushed away
I’m holdin’ on to what’s good but you girl have final say

I know I’ve traveled this world and all around
But what I need is your big heart in this little town
Girl it’s clear you’re everything to me
I’d give the world if you’d make a flower outta this ramblin’ weed

Love is patient and love is kind
It doesn't brag or show selfish pride 
Sorry I led with feet and toes 
But baby I think you already know (that)
As love should be sincere and all evil brushed away
I’m holdin’ on to what’s good but you girl have final say

I’m holdin’ on to what’s good but you girl have final say
You have final say
