Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two-lane ribbon through fields of flame
Sunflowers dancing in the window frame
Small town diner, name on a mug
Old men talking ’bout rain and luck
At the pump, they still say “hey”
Call you son, ask about your day
It’s the kind of place you don’t outgrow
Even when you think you’ve let it go
[Chorus]
It’s yes sir, thank you ma’am
A hard day’s work and a gentle hand
Storms roll in like an old-time song
Rattlin’ the roof ’til the dark is gone
There’s a wind that sings in the telephone wires
A quiet pride that never tires
No matter how far I roam
It’s still in my bones
[Verse 2]
Porch light glowin’ in the evening hush
Crickets loud and the sky so plush
Gravel kicks under boots I’ve worn
Since high school nights and early morns
Kids still ride where the blacktop ends
Wave at strangers like long-lost friends
I left young, thought I needed more
But I keep hearin’ that old screen door
[Chorus]
It’s yes sir, thank you ma’am
A callused heart and a slow dance jam
Storms roll in like an old-time song
Rattlin’ the roof ’til the dark is gone
There’s a wind that sings in the telephone wires
A quiet pride that never tires
No matter how far I roam
It’s still in my bones
[Bridge]
Might be no place you’ve seen on a map
But it’s where I learned how to love and laugh
And every mile just brings me back
That old white steeple, Sunday mornin’ sound
Still echoes in me when the world gets loud…
Take me back…
Take me home…
Where the wind still sings… and the roots still grow…
[Final Chorus]
It’s yes sir, thank you ma’am
A quiet porch and a steady hand
Storms roll in like an old-time song
Rattlin’ the roof ’til the dark is gone
There’s a wind that sings in the telephone wires
A quiet pride that never tires
No matter how far I roam
It’s still in my bones
