Country man

I grew up where the dirt road bends,
Old red barn and a wooden fence.
Mama’s callin’ when the sun goes down,
Crickets singin’ were the only sound.
I was just a kid with a hand-me-down guitar,
Found my peace where the hay bales are.

Verse
In the hayloft playin’ six steel strings,
Cows listen close like they know my dreams.
Dust in the air, boots on the floor,
I played my heart out, always wanted more.
While the world kept spinnin’ fast and loud,
I was strummin’ slow for that quiet crowd.

Chorus
I’m a country man, born and raised,
With calloused hands and simple ways.
From the fields to the stars at night,
That old guitar’s been my guiding light.
Yeah, I don’t need much, just land and sky,
A song to sing till the day I die.
I’m a country man, through and through,
This farm life’s all I ever knew.

Verse
Daddy taught me how to work that land,
Respect the soil, do the best you can.
Life ain’t easy, but it’s honest and true,
Same as the songs that I play for you.
Every scar tells a story I’ve lived,
Every note’s somethin’ real that I give.

Bridge
I’ve seen cities flashin’ neon bright,
But they never felt like home at night.
Give me moonlight on an open field,
That’s the kind of freedom you can feel.

Chorus
I’m a country man, born and raised,
With calloused hands and simple ways.
From the fields to the stars at night,
That old guitar’s been my guiding light.
Yeah, I don’t need much, just land and sky,
A song to sing till the day I die.
I’m a country man, through and through,
This farm life’s all I ever knew.

[Break]
So if you hear a melody on the wind,
fom a hayloft where the cows lean in,
That’s just me, doin’ what I can—

Livin’ life as a country man.

Chorus
I’m a country man, born and raised,
With calloused hands and simple ways.
From the fields to the stars at night,
That old guitar’s been my guiding light.
Yeah, I don’t need much, just land and sky,
A song to sing till the day I die.

I’m a country man, through and through,
This farm life’s all I ever knew.
