Lyrics

Tin Roof Halo

Verse 1
There's a scarecrow leaning like he knows my name,
Watching every season never asking for fame.
The mailbox sings when the north wind blows,
And the gravel remembers every truck that goes.

Granddad's jacket still hangs by the door,
Smells like tobacco and a little bit more.
You can't buy the kind of peace I found,
Where the church bell echoes across fresh-plowed ground.

Chorus
I've got a tin roof halo over this heart of mine,
Made of rainstorms, rust, and borrowed time.
The world keeps spinning faster every day,
But these roots ain't looking for a getaway.
If heaven ever calls before I'm old,
They'll find me where the whippoorwills still roll.
Under a sky only home can know,
Living beneath my tin roof halo.

Verse 2
The creek still carries every secret downstream,
Holding onto childhood like an unfinished dream.
Every fence post has a story carved in wood,
Every goodbye made me understand the good.

Bridge
You can keep your skyline made of glass,
I'll take sunsets through a field of tall grass.
'Cause every mile I wander, every road I roam,
Only taught my heart the way back home.

Final Chorus
I've got a tin roof halo over this heart of mine,
A little faith, a little dust, and a life that's mine.
When they ask me where my soul belongs,
I'll point to the porch where I learned these songs.
Some dreams glitter, some dreams glow—
Mine shines beneath a tin roof halo.
