Back Forty

Hop in the truck, girl, let's take a drive

We've been searching for months, and it finally feels right

It's a little further out than we wanted, but it's fine

Just wait till you see what I found

This little piece of heaven is a hell of a deal

A 40-acre lot with a spot we can build

A wraparound A-frame house on a hill

The life you and I always dreamed about

I'm already starting to see it now

A little more than two years out, we'll be moved in

Four, five later, we'll have one, maybe two kids

Crying all night, but time will fly by

And eighteen later, we'll be crying in the drive

Then it's back to the beginning, baby, just you and me

Happy ever after on a front porch swing

If you can't tell, I can't help looking forward to

Looking back forty with you

Judging by the mile-wide smile on your face

You look like you can't wait to call up the bank

Drive into town, throw what we can down

As soon as we can get to breaking ground

'Cause a little more than two years out, we'll be moved in

Four, five later, we'll have one, maybe two kids

Crying all night, but time will fly by

And eighteen later, we'll be crying in the drive

Then it's back to the beginning, baby, just you and me

Happy ever after on a front porch swing

If you can't tell, I can't help looking forward to

Looking back forty with you

Out at a canvas sky

Damn, that's a hell of a view

Sounds like a hell of a life

A little more than two years out, we'll be moved in

Four, five later, we'll have one, maybe two kids

Crying all night, but time will fly by

And eighteen later, we'll be crying in the drive

Then it's back to the beginning, baby, just you and me

Happy ever after on a front porch swing

If you can't tell, I can't help looking forward to

I know I'm getting ahead myself, but I can't help looking forward to

Looking back forty with you

Looking back forty with you
