Everlasting Country

(album: Everlasting Country - 2020)

'Round here there ain't no sandy beach
No coconut drinks with a fancy name
You ain't gon' see no penthouse suites
But I can tell you something better if you ask me
It's a sun-baked rope swing, fishing in the dark
No bobber needed and I ain't got no night crawlers
But you can crawl on me in the Stepside Z
And we can drive where the mud and the asphalt meets

Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a hometown girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights and not cut scenes
Just everlasting country
Everlasting country

What's a five star place to a wide open space?
What's an Uber driver to a loud Chevrolet?
What's a downtown girl to a woman like you?
Eyes 90s model Ford, two-tone teal blue
What's red high heels to your little bare feet?
I don't want a reservation 'less it's somewhere in the weeds
I don't wish upon a time, 'cause 'these times', I'm living these
In a nowhere town in middle Tennessee

Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a hometown girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights and not cut scenes
Just everlasting country
Everlasting country

Dear young gun, go soak up the sun
'Til your neck turns red and your truck don't run
Get those docks hotter than wood stove coals
With a hometown girl that you always known
Don't worry about that downtown buzz
'Cause the shine's more smooth where you come from
No camera, no lights and not cut scenes
Just everlasting country
Everlasting country
