Warp Drive Front Porch

[Verse 1]

Got a porch swing hangin' off a satellite

Rust-red boots on a meteor rail

Granddad’s hat with the brim all bent

And a coffee can full of comet tail

Neighbors drop by in a dusty old shuttle

Trackin’ red clay right through the airlock door

We pass that jar of lightning peaches

Talkin’ ’bout the same old stars we never saw before

[Chorus]

Warp drive front porch

Rockin’ in the glow of a twin moon fire

Time runs crooked

But the heart keeps walkin’ that same old wire

Whole world changin’

We still hum that hand-me-down tune

Warp drive front porch

Singin’ three parts under one big blue-blue-blue balloon (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Solar panels on a barn made of plywood planets

Rust on the chrome of a hay-bale drone

Mama’s quilt on a busted-up rover

Kids rope swing from a backbone of old steel bones

Got a map of the sky with the ink run ragged

From spilled sweet tea and July storms

We mark each town where the kin got scattered

Pull ’em back home with these country chords

[Chorus]

Warp drive front porch

Rockin’ in the glow of a twin moon fire

Time runs crooked

But the heart keeps walkin’ that same old wire

Whole world changin’

We still hum that hand-me-down tune

Warp drive front porch

Singin’ three parts under one big blue-blue-blue balloon (oh yeah)

[Bridge]

[3-second mandolin shred break

Stereo-widened

Then hard stop]

Silence hangs

Like dust in the beam of a headlight star

You squeeze my hand

Say

“Wherever we land is exactly where we are”

[Chorus]

Warp drive front porch

Rockin’ in the glow of a twin moon fire

Time runs crooked

But the heart keeps walkin’ that same old wire

Whole world changin’

We still hum that hand-me-down tune

Warp drive front porch

Singin’ three parts under one big blue-blue-blue balloon (hey!)

Warp drive front porch

’Til the sky swings low and it’s callin’ us home soon
