Sunny Blanket Boogie

Checkered blanket on the hillside

Basket leaning in the clover

You laugh

The lemonade tilts

And almost tumbles over

Bare feet chasing a paper plate

Wind trying to steal our cake

Crumbs on your nose

I freeze that frame

Like a little home movie in my brain

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Sunlight dancing on your face

Cold sweet tea and your hand in my hand

I don’t need another place

If the world keeps spinning

Let it spin slow

Right here in this patch of green

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Best thing I’ve ever seen

Ants marching by the watermelon

Kids rolling down the hill

Someone’s dog stole half a sandwich

You’re laughing louder still

You lean back

Straw hat tipping

Clouds drift like cotton through the blue

I miss a chord just watching you

And somehow hit the perfect tune

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Sunlight dancing on your face

Cold sweet tea and your hand in my hand

I don’t need another place

If the world keeps spinning

Let it spin slow

Right here in this patch of green

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Best thing I’ve ever seen

Let the work week fade like a far-off train

Let the worry fall off your shoulders

We’ve got grape juice stains

We’ve got grass in our hair

And a sky getting softer

Older

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Sunlight dancing on your face

Cold sweet tea and your hand in my hand

I don’t need another place

If the world keeps spinning

Let it spin slow

Right here in this patch of green

Pick that banjo

Let the day roll

Best thing I’ve ever seen
