Long Nights

[Chorus: Thomas Rhett] Thinkin' 'bout them long nights We was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs Comin' from a city where the young die Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest" We done come a long way from them porch lights And them stop signs, yeah [Verse: BigXthaPlug] Ayy, came a long way from that porch where shit was wicked Remember jumpin' spot to spot 'cause T-Jones tried to dodge that sentence, huh But shit, I understand 'cause as a man I'm tryna get it I got dropped from school and grabbed the tool 'cause Pops said life was vicious Shit, I was lost but found a plan, picked it up and then I ran Never knew this route I took would turn me up to feed my fam I thank God like every day 'cause, shit, he helped me find my purpose I was hurtin' Shit, I went from hearin' shots to hearin' fans behind them curtains So I know that it's workin' I just stick to the plan and keep the snakes up out my circle 'Cause the ones that say they love you be the first to try and hurt you Dry you out and desert you I really came from the bottom, the top don't come with no curfews [Chorus: Thomas Rhett] Long nights We was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs Comin' from a city where the young die Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest" We done come a long way from them porch lights And them stop signs, yeah [Bridge: Thomas Rhett] Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out Now I'm preaching like revival, coming from where I'm from Don't get caught without it, you might catch a headstone Hustle and survival, that's the only outcome Right hand on the Bible, I done made it out Now I'm preaching like revival, coming from where I'm from Don't get caught without it, you might catch a headstone Hustle and survival, that's the only outcome [Chorus: Thomas Rhett] Thinkin' 'bout them long nights We was sittin' there dreamin' under porch lights Never thought we'd make it past the stop signs Comin' from a city where the young die Now it ain't an issue, I fill up them pages Now they know my name, when I show up, they say it Mama on my line and she like, "You the greatest" We done come a long way from them porch lights And them stop signs, yeah [Outro: BigXthaPlug] What would I say to her? I probably would say, "Thank you" 'Cause she taught me a lot It's alright, it's okay, you know how it feels But overall, man, I just, I hope she happy
