When the House Is Flush

Sunday mornin' on the front porch sippin' coffee

Stealin' every last minute that we can

'Til that Southern sun rises on a dreamer

Who'll set those dreams aside to shift those gears again

The ballgame and the ballet last Friday

I've lost count of all the milestones I've missed

Yes, I've gone astray searching for an answer

I've made some bets I surely regret

When the house is flush, the chips no longer matter

I'll be going all in on us

There'll be plans to make, dreams to chase

They'll be time for us, when the house is flush

This rig it just ain't big enough to handle

The price tag that's hanging on our dreams

And the miles & tolls have cost us more than I imagined

They ain't worth the time and distance in between

I thought these risks and roads were bound to lead to freedom

I'd hit a run of luck and draw a winning hand

But there's no short cut to easy street

It's time for a long goodbye again

When the house is flush, the chips no longer matter

I'll be going all in on us

There'll be plans to make, dreams to chase

They'll be time for us, when the house is flush

I took my chance, nearly lost it all

When I laid it on the line

Then you took my hand, lead me back to a simpler time

When the house is flush, the chips no longer matter

I'll be going all in on us

There'll be plans to make, dreams to chase

They'll be time for us, when the house is flush

Sunday mornin' on the front porch sippin' coffee

Stealin' every last minute that we can
