I'd shoot you a photo

I'd shoot you a photo
but then I'd have to get up
and move away from the game
and the rain
and the company

It's just Brad and the Colts
and the dark and the glows
A long day's work has faded
into tired legs and cold hands
and the light from the TV
and the warmth of the fire

I'd head on inside
but then I'd have to get up
and move away from the rain
and the game and the company

Things are as done as they can be
and cleaned up as much as will happen
The rain started within minutes of
the last tool being racked
The rain gutter is keeping
our feet from flowing water
The canvas top is saving our heads
from the dampness above

I'd move if I had a reason
but then I'd have to get up
and move away from the company
and the rain and the game

Brad's toasting marshmallows
I'm eating chips
Madden is explaining defense
and the rain's pace has picked up
The seasons are changing
and while I'm not ready
for Christmas or New Year's
right now all is well

I'll go inside sometime
but not at the moment
I'll not leave the company
the rain, and the peace
