  Verse 1

  Boxes stacked against the table Flour dust still on the wood We could not wait one more minute We set the forks where you'd be good

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody counted twelve of them out Somebody lit the candles twice Now the whole room's leaning forward

  Chorus

  Bennett, come and see what we made you Bennett, every fork's for a friend We been waiting on you all evening So you could walk in and it wouldn't end

  Verse 2

  You always come in laughing Like you already know the plan Nobody told you about the kitchen But somehow you always understand

  Chorus

  Bennett, come and see what we made you Bennett, every fork's for a friend We been waiting on you all evening So you could walk in and it wouldn't end

  Bridge

  Cut it however you want to Nobody's counting the slice We just wanted you standing here with us One more year, and it feels this nice

  Chorus

  Bennett, come and see what we made you Bennett, every fork's for a friend We been waiting on you all evening So you could walk in and it wouldn't end

  Outro

  The boxes are empty, the table's clear We're just glad that you're standing here

  Verse 1

  Grease on your hands, still you smile Fixing things up, taking your while Nobody asked but you came through That's just the way we count on you

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you show up strong Never once you take too long So light the candles, sing it loud

  Chorus

  Bennett, Bennett, raise a cup Whatever breaks, you fix it up Bennett, tonight we celebrate The one worth waiting on, worth the wait

  Verse 2

  Spare tire waiting on the floor You always find a bit more Patience for the ones who need it Quiet strength, you don't repeat it

  Chorus

  Bennett, Bennett, raise a cup Whatever breaks, you fix it up Bennett, tonight we celebrate The one worth waiting on, worth the wait

  Bridge

  Another year, still holding steady Hands that work when we're not ready We see you there behind it all

  Chorus

  Bennett, Bennett, raise a cup Whatever breaks, you fix it up Bennett, tonight we celebrate The one worth waiting on, worth the wait

  Outro

  Lights go low, the engine's humming Happy birthday, glad you're coming

  Verse 1

  You keep the window cracked for air Lights go streaking, gold and red Every mile I ride with you feels rare Salt dries white on the frame ahead

  Chorus

  Bennett, light the whole road up Nobody drives it quite like you Pass the years around like one more cup Bennett, here's to all you do

  Verse 2

  You hum along to something old Hands loose on the wheel tonight I never say how much you're worth in gold But it's written plain in every light

  Pre-chorus

  Count the candles, count the miles Every year has brought us here So let the whole room learn your smile

  Chorus

  Bennett, light the whole road up Nobody drives it quite like you Pass the years around like one more cup Bennett, here's to all you do

  Bridge

  Whatever roads still wait ahead I'm glad that you're the one I'm with Say the word and we'll drive on instead

  Chorus

  Bennett, light the whole road up Nobody drives it quite like you Pass the years around like one more cup Bennett, here's to all you do

  Outro

  Salt still clings to the metal frame We'll wear this year the same
