Leave a Mark

[Verse 1]
Some say love at nine years old
Is a bucket of bait and a fishing pole
Front row sitting creekside on a bank
Next thing you know, you turn sixteen
It's a pickup truck, three on the tree
First time feeling freedom when it cranks
But nothing hit like when she walked my way
I remember it all just like yesterday

[Chorus]
A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinkin' things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
A girl like that can leave a mark

[Verse 2]
Like little notes left on the fridge
"I love you," sealed with a kiss
She makes a bad day better with a smile
It could be how she likes her coffee cold
Sing all day, can't carry a note
Or that come-and-get-me look in her eyes

[Chorus]
A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinkin' things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
A girl like that can leave a mark

[Bridge]
But nothing hit like when she walked my way
Yeah, time has passed, but I still feel the same

[Chorus]
A girl like that can leave a mark
You see the end right from the start
Thinkin' things you never thought about
House on a hill, white picket fence
Planting roots and raising kids
A love that's always tattooed on your heart
She's like a light that's shining in the dark
A girl like that can leave a mark

[Outro]
Mm-mm, leave a mark
