Rustic Joy

[Intro] Sun-kissed dust on the dirt road shines, dusk fading to gold [Verse 1] In a village that time forgot, he stands with a easy smile Boots kick up a lazy rhythm, but his feet walk a mile in style Cows in the meadow, bells in the air, kids with laughter to share He grins at the simple sunrise, believes life is plenty and fair [Pre-Chorus] Breath in slow, eyes that glow, he finds calm in the small Rope-a-dash of chores and friendly calls, he hears the everyday brawl [Chorus] I’m right where I belong, under a big blue sky so strong Breathing in this country song, days feel short but hearts grow long Content with the weathered wood and clay, and the words that neighbors say Living light, living loud, in this heart of mine today [Verse 2] Old porch creaks a welcome, as the kettle sings its tune Neighbors waving from the lane, beneath a sleepy afternoon He takes a breath of pine and rain, thanks the sun for its glow Peace is a simple melody here, and he hums along slow [Pre-Chorus] Footsteps soft on the path he knows, stories tucked in the grain He strolls past the barnyard chorus, nothing but warmth to gain [Chorus] I’m right where I belong, under a big blue sky so strong Breathing in this country song, days feel short but hearts grow long Content with the weathered wood and clay, and the words that neighbors say Living light, living loud, in this heart of mine today [Bridge] Clouds drift like a lullaby, the river hums in rhyme He pockets yesterday’s doubts, keeps tomorrow’s hope in line [Chorus] I’m right where I belong, under a big blue sky so strong Breathing in this country song, days feel short but hearts grow long Content with the weathered wood and clay, and the words that neighbors say Living light, living loud, in this heart of mine today [Outro] So let the sunset color the lanes, let the lanterns softly glow This calm, this joy, this simple life—he’s found his home, and it shows.
