Keep It Kuntry

(album: Long Way Home - 2022)

You gotta take the bees with the fireflies
And rain with the shine
Chase regrets with success 'til pain becomes your pride
It ain't enough just to work until you're tired 'round here
'Cause we don't even retire

I'mma get my ass up I'mma keep it John Deere
And when that rooster crows I'm off in that field
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
See I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Man can't give it up I'mma keep it right here
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real

What y'all know about paprika and mayonnaise chip dip
Tell me about the deer skint in the smoke shack out of season
Or a night drunk in the hills road killed rabbit eating
Or how about not eating because you're freezing
I believe in memories being the reason we achieve things
Succeed in catching dreams because you've seen things
And you'd rather not go back down that road
So you put your whole heart sweat tears and soul
Into working toward your goals
Just know

I'mma get my ass up I'mma keep it John Deere
And when that rooster crows I'm off in that field
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
See I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Man can't give it up I'mma keep it right here
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real

What y'all know about lights out 'cause the child support was due
And it's your weekend to keep them but you ain't got no food
You've been working all week so you don't know what else to do
But quittings for the weak so you keep pushing through
You keep working on that pipeline
Then at night write your life in lines
Slowly but surely perfecting rhymes 'til
Nobody can deny the fire inside you
You got a get-rich-or-die-trying attitude
Who woulda knew it'd only be a year or two
Before you grew into a dude who the whole world knew

I keep a shotgun sitting shotgun
I'm sipping scotch and some beer getting shotgunned
Man I may got one hit or two under my belt ah be damned if I changed

I'mma get my ass up I'mma keep it John Deere
And when that rooster crows I'm off in that field
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
See I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real
'Til that mud dries up 'til they stop making beer
Man can't give it up I'mma keep it right here
Yeah I'mma keep it kuntry I'mma keep it real (I'mma keep it real)
I'mma keep it kuntry (keep it real)
I'mma keep it kuntry (keep it kuntry)
