From Army Green to Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Same old streets and porch lights glowing Same corner store where we would run We never knew where life was going Six degrees apart beneath one sun Then I saw you in Army green A friend I didn't know I'd need [Chorus] You lift me up when I am falling You hear the things I never say Two peas in a pod, still holding on Through every night and every day Every mile was leading me Home to you, my family [Verse 2] We traded boots for a front porch swing Eight little voices, a house full of everything John Martinez, you lean in close And listen with that steady heart Everyone who needs it most Feels heard right from the start [Chorus] You lift me up when I am falling You hear the things I never say Two peas in a pod, still holding on Through every night and every day Every mile was leading me Home to you, my family [Bridge] The world gets loud, you make it quiet You hear the hurt behind a smile The scars we carried home in uniform Grew softer, mended, mile by mile [Verse 3] Now there's grandbabies on your knee Giggling at the tales you tell Another year, another anniversary And I'm still falling, still under your spell Warmth and laughter, light ahead A lifetime more with you, my friend [Chorus] You lift me up when I am falling You hear the things I never say Two peas in a pod, still holding on Through every night and every day Every mile was leading me Home to you, John, my family [Outro] From that same old street to forever Two peas in a pod, me and you John Martinez, my love so true Forever I'll come home to you
