Mama's Front Door

Thomas Rhett Akins


Your mama's front door scared the hell outta me
Marchin' up to it, just barely sixteen
They said: Be back by 10, and at 9:54
I kissed you goodnight at your mama's front door

You'd sneak me in and I'd sneak ya out
And we'd cuss that hinge for bein' too loud
That time we broke up, I forget now what for
But I 'bout broke down your mama's front door

Today it just hit me that I've got some history
With every square inch of that faded brick porch
It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now
And it just keeps changin' a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door

Yeah, I've left some flowers on that welcome mat
Showed up unannounced for a talk with your dad
It wasn't a mystery what I was there for
But he gave me his blessin' at your mama's front door

Today it just hit me that I've got some history
With every square inch of that faded brick porch
It's crazy to think how much my life has changed now
And it just keeps changin' a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door

Oh, oh, oh
At your mama's front door, yeah, yeah

I'm at your mama's front door, had to knock with my knee
Got three crazy kids hangin' all over me
When I sat 'em down, my heart fell through the floor
Watchin' 'em run through your mama's front door

Yeah, life just keeps changin' a little bit more
Every time I show up at your mama's front door
