Lyrics: 
Pickin roadside flowers, driving ninety miles an hour
Trying to get on back to that pretty smile
This man in mirror is seeing things a little clearer
That's the me I ain’t seen in a while
 
I let the small stuff roll right off my back
Cause I know what's waiting on me back home where I hang my hat
I like to end my nights these days with a goodnight kiss
Instead of sitting in a smoky nowhere bar with whiskey on my lips
I’m staring at the sunsets a little bit longer
I’m pouring that good love on her
Who I used to be’s a million miles away
From where I am today

Where I am today
 
Waking up to the good life, a cup of coffee and some brown eyes
Can’t help but wanna be a better man
Now I’m staring at forever, I got the map to the treasure
And the other half my heart hanging onto my hand

I let the small stuff roll right off my back
Cause I know what's waiting on me back home where I hang my hat
I like to end my nights these days with a goodnight kiss
Instead of sitting in a smoky nowhere bar with whiskey on my lips
I’m staring at the sunsets a little bit longer
I’m pouring that good love on her
Who I used to be’s a million miles away
From where I am today
 
I’ve been to hell and back in these beat up boots
But I finally found a little sacred ground

I let the small stuff roll right off my back
Cause I know what's waiting on me back home where I hang my hat
I like to end my nights these days with a goodnight kiss
Instead of sitting in a smoky nowhere bar with whiskey on my lips
I’m staring at the sunsets a little bit longer
I’m pouring that good love on her
Who I used to be’s a million miles away
From where I am today

From where I am today

That’s where I am today

[Verse 1]
This old house holds our memories,
In every board and nail,
From generation to generation
The love will never fail.
With every little giggle in every painted wall,
You can still hear the echoes of mother’s loving call.
We built this place together, with our sweat and tears,
And it will always stand like we do through the years.

[Chorus]
It’s not just about a building,
But the memories that we’ve made.
With every shaky ladder climbed,
To every brush stroke laid.
Someday when I’m dead and gone,
You’ll feel me in these old beams —
This old place will always hold our past,
And carry all our dreams.

[Verse 2]
The front door keeps the stories
Of how we first walked through,
The hallway holds the footprints
Of every day we grew.
The kitchen smells like comfort,
The bedroom knows our tears —
These walls became our diary
Through all the passing years.

[Chorus]
It’s not just about a building,
But the memories that we’ve made.
With every shaky ladder climbed,
To every brush stroke laid.
Someday when I’m dead and gone,
You’ll feel me in these old beams —
This old place will always hold our past,
And carry all our dreams.

[Verse 3]
With paint on our boots and dirt on our hands,
Our hard work and years poured into this land.
Lunch on the porch, kids runnin’ free,
Love in the air flowing naturally.
We built precious memories, not just a home,
But a place where my spirit will someday roam.

[Chorus]
It’s not just about a building,
But the memories that we’ve made.
With every shaky ladder climbed,
To every brush stroke laid.
Someday when I’m dead and gone,
You’ll feel me in these old beams —
This old place will always hold our past,
And carry all our dreams.

This Old House and Memories

The song isn't about the glory of battle; it's about the long, quiet walk home after the fighting stops
