Let There Be Country

(album: Here's To Anyone - 2021)

Long as there's an old truck
With a boat hitched up
Backing down a ramp at the lake
Long as there's a back road
Fields of gold
And a John Deere rolling all day

Long as there's cold beer sitting in a cooler
And a Friday night in my future
Long as there's a band and a bar
With a tip jar ready to play

Let there be country
Boots kicking up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me

Long as there's haystacks
And Bass Pro caps
And a Redman ring on your jeans
Long as there's a heel, a toe, a do-si-do
Cutting loose with your honky tonk queen

Long as there's trailers in the trailer parks
And songs about broken hearts
Long as there's a barrel of whiskey
Down in Lynchburg, Tennessee

Let there be country
Boots kicking up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me

Long as there's good ole boys going fishing
Let there be country
Long as there's apple pie sitting in the kitchen
Let there be country
Long as there's a dog in a pickup bed
And all of God's people said

Let there be country
Boots kicking up dust
Let there be neon light and a sky full of stars above
Let there be mud tires, bonfires
And hometown girls and shotgun seats
Let there be country
For country boys like me

Let there be country
For country boys like me
