Lyrics

August 22, 2026

**Verse 1**\
White columns catch the morning sun\
Square wakes up and the day’s begun\
Coffee doors open, trucks roll through\
Same old bricks under something new\
Old men talk where the benches stand\
Young girl walks with her mama’s hand\
And high above all the coming and gone\
That courthouse clock keeps moving on

**Chorus**\
Courthouse clock\
Count it slow\
All the things we keep, all the things we let go\
Wedding bells, hard goodbyes\
Friday nights and changing lives\
We swear forever like forever won’t stop\
But time knows better\
Than the courthouse clock

**Verse 2**\
It’s watched white dresses cross the Square\
Black coats climb those courthouse stairs\
Heard somebody cheer, somebody curse\
Seen good days come and bad get worse\
Campaign signs rise and disappear\
Kids leave town, then bring theirs back here\
Every generation thinks it owns the block\
Underneath that courthouse clock

**Chorus**\
Courthouse clock\
Count it slow\
All the things we keep, all the things we let go\
Wedding bells, hard goodbyes\
Friday nights and changing lives\
We swear forever like forever won’t stop\
But time knows better\
Than the courthouse clock

**Verse 3**\
I used to pass it at seventeen\
Thinking thirty sounded old to me\
Cheap guitar riding in the backseat case\
Whole wide world outside this place\
Now I come home and I understand\
Time don’t leave, it just changes hands\
There’s another kid staring up from the block\
At that same courthouse clock

**Bridge**\
It don’t know rich from poor\
Right from wrong\
Who stayed too late\
Who stayed too long\
It don’t forgive\
It don’t accuse\
It just keeps count of the time we use\
And when we’re names somebody else forgot\
It’ll still be turning\
That courthouse clock

**Final Chorus**\
Courthouse clock\
Count it slow\
For the ones coming home and the ones who go\
Wedding bells, last goodbyes\
Babies born and old friends die\
We spend forever like forever’s what we’ve got\
While time keeps turning\
On the courthouse clock

**Outro**\
Same white columns\
Same old Square\
Different faces everywhere\
And high above us\
Whether we notice or not\
Time keeps turning\
On the courthouse clock
