Story behind the song
I was spending some time at a good friend's house who happens to be a successful songwriter from Beaumont, TX. M.Jason Greene. He really helped put this thing together and between the two of us we've come up with something pretty special. :)
Lyrics
The Swing
There’s a weathered wooden swing,
Grandpa built in 43’
There’s stories it could tell,
And secrets that it keeps
There’s the one about a young man,
With a nervous ring in one hand
And the tears it caught
When my Momma said yes
Through the wind, sun, and rain
It survived a little pain
But like the rest of us,
It made it through okay
Chorus:
It swayed through the fifties
Saw a lotta love in the sixties
And by 73’ it was rockin with my Mom and Dad and me
In the spring of 85’, it stood still when Grandpa died
It was Grandma closest as the ninties came and went
There’ve been lives and loves and heartaches in between
There ain’t much that ol’ swing ain’t seen
I can almost picture
Me and my little sister
Seeing just how high
The two of us could could get
And the summer nights I spent
In the arms of Amy Lynn
Sittin’ there is where,
I had my first kiss
And carved in the armrests,
There’s a lot of history
There’s hearts and names
And old forgotten dreams
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Some see rotten wood and rusty chains
That’s what I’ll miss most about this house
I should load it up with the rest of all our things
I just doesn’t seem right to take it down
(Chorus)
