Country Blues

[Verse] Well, the sun's barely risin', sky's turnin' blue, Roosters are crowin', and I'm thinkin' 'bout you, House is old, paint’s chippin' away, Down this lonely dirt road, I got somethin' to say. [Verse 2] The fields are dyin', crops didn't come through, A broken plow and a tractor needin' some glue, Coffee muggin' hands, worn from the toil, Dreams get buried beneath this soil. [Chorus] Oh, these country blues, heavy on my soul, Life in the backwoods takes a mighty toll, From the early mornin' to the setting sun, Just singin' these country blues till my days are done. [Verse 3] Barn's leanin', shadows grow tall, Hollow whistle of a train, that's the only call, Moonshine nights, where the dogs bark and howl, Tryna find a reason, somewhere, somehow. [Verse 4] Grandma’s quilt on a rusty ol’ bed, Echoes of the past, things left unsaid, Whiskey on the porch, stars dancin' high, Solitude whispers, like a lullaby. [Chorus] Oh, these country blues, heavy on my soul, Life in the backwoods takes a mighty toll, From the early mornin' to the setting sun, Just singin' these country blues till my days are done.
