Lyrics
Girl, the way your face lit up
Expressing admiration for the way the girl's face lights up.
We pulled in that driveway for the first time and you saw
Recalling the moment they first arrived at the house.
The "Sold" sign in the front yard and our name there on the door
Noticing the "Sold" sign and their names on the door, symbolizing ownership.
Forever on that porch
Anticipating a lasting connection and happiness on the porch.
Built in 1963
Providing details about the house, built in 1963 on a hill in Tennessee.

It's a little slice of Heaven that could use some fixing up
Acknowledging that the house needs renovation but expressing no urgency.
But I ain't in no rush
Not in a hurry to fix up the house, suggesting a patient approach.
That's a hill I could die on
Referring to the commitment to the relationship as a metaphorical "hill to die on."
That's a field these four wheels could ride on

Oh, close your eyes, girl, can't you see
Encouraging the girl to visualize a shared future together.
That garden in the backyard and a tire swing in the tree?
Painting a picture of a backyard with a garden and a tire swing.
Make the kinda love that makes you paint a spare room blue or pink
Describing the kind of love that inspires painting a room for a future child.
When I look at you I think
Expressing thoughts about the girl when looking at her.
That's a hill I could die on
Repeating the commitment to the relationship as a significant hill.
