Love Grows Slow in Texas | Dakota Ammen |

Country ballad FIRST SINGLE OF 2026

If 2026 is a new beginning, let it start slow — and the right way.

A modern country ballad about starting over when life breaks you.

Sarah leaves the chaos of the city behind and finds herself on an old, forgotten farm in Texas. With broken fences and a heavy heart, she meets Jake — a quiet cowboy who teaches her the beauty of simple living, honest work, and community. Together, they discover that love doesn’t need perfection to grow — just time, trust, and red dirt beneath their boots.

This song is a reminder that even the driest ground can bloom again, and that sometimes the most real love stories are the ones that feel like clichés… because they’re true.

LYRICS:

Verse 1
Sarah packed her life in cardboard dreams
Left neon nights and broken scenes
Big city echoes, love gone cold
A restless heart, a story old

She bought a farm off a dusty road
Paint peeled off, fences broke
Texas sun on an empty place
Hopin’ time would heal her face

Verse 2
Jake showed up with quiet eyes
Calloused hands, no alibis
Didn’t say much, just fixed the gate
Let the work and silence wait

He taught her how the land can breathe
How rain smells sweet on broken fields
She taught him how to feel again
Let the past loosen its grip on him

Chorus
It’s a cliché, yeah maybe so
Girl meets boy where the wild grass grows
Two lost souls on different roads
Findin’ love where the red dirt holds
From shattered hearts to open skies
Love grows slow, but it survives

Bridge
Sunset talks on a wooden porch
Old regrets burnin’ down to ash
Turns out hope don’t need much more
Than honest hands and a chance to last

Final Chorus
Yeah it’s a cliché, but it’s true
Love blooms where you least expect it to
Different worlds, same heartbeat
Roots run deep when the ground believes

Outro
In the quiet of a Texas night
Two hearts finally got it right
