Growing Old Like The Golden Girls

You walked in with that Sunday smile Coffee in your hand air a little while Said you love those shows and quiet nights From porch swings and string lights I laughed and asked you just for fun If we make it to years past 61 You wanna dance through every little turn Like those ladies in that Florida sun You said, baby, if the good Lord wills I'll be right there in your wrinkles and your chills I wanna be a girl like the golden girls You and me laughing at this big ol' world Late night cheesecake in the kitchen light Tellin' old stories till we get them right Rockin' on a porch with our silver curls Still holdin' hands like a boy and his girl If love grows better in a wrinkled swirl than life We'll have days we don't quite agree You roll your eyes, I'll lose my keys You talk like blanche when you feel too bold I'll fuss like Dorothy when I act too old You tell bad jokes in the Midwest draw I'll stir the pie like the shore, one in a hawk But when the storms roll through our street We'll sit close and keep the peace Every season, every spilled milk fight We'll say a prayer and kiss again This big ol' world ain't night cheese cake in the kitchen light Tellin' all stories till we get them right Rockin' on the porch with our silver curls Still holdin' hands like a boy and his girl If love grows better in a wrinkled swirl You got a little rose in the way you carry You dream big crazy dreams out of nowhere You got a bit of blanche when you dress up fine Turning every small town into a skyline You stand your ground like Dorothy Strong Call me out when I'm dead or I'm wrong And when life hurts like a hard-learned tale You hug me tight like the one with the veil I wanna be grown like the golden girls You and me laughing at this wild old world Bible on the table and turn low Thanking God for every year we grow Rockin' on a porch with our silver curls Still holdin' hands like a boy and his girl If Heaven smiles on this simple swirl then I'll spend my life
