Glory Days
Gabby Barrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got the sun setting down on the grass and the yard
Got my head on your shoulder and my hand on your heart
Watchin' the barefoot babies laughin' and pickin' daisies
Catchin' the fireflies in a jar
This is as good as it gets, I don't know what I would change
No, we ain't gotta look back at all those pictures in frames
And wish it'd all stay the same
'Cause right here, right now I say, "These are the glory days"
It's a first sip of coffee in a quiet house
It's Bible verses in the kitchen like it's holy ground
Livin' right don't cost a thing, it's slow roll of a porch swing, it's
Dogs runnin' while the birds are singin', it's you picking that six string
This is as good as it gets, I don't know what I would change
I love this life that we live, I love that smile on your face
No, we ain't gotta look back at all those pictures in frames
And wish it'd all stay the same
'Cause right here, right now I say, "These are the glory days"
Ooh, these are the glory days
This is as good as it gets, I don't know what I would change
I love this life that we live, I love that smile on your face
No, we ain't gotta look back at all those pictures in frames
And wish it'd all stay the same
'Cause right here, right now I say, "These are the glory days"
Oh, yeah, right here, right now I say, "These are the glory days"
Oh, these are the glory days

This song has perfect timing. Such a beautiful example of how God blesses the lives of people who are not ashamed to put God first in their lives and to be an example of the way married life can be. Cade and Gabby never change. You two are a light to behold in this dark world. Love your music Gabby, and Cade's amazing gift on the guitar.
