Moonlit Landing

[Verse] We gathered 'round the ol' black and white, In our small town on that July night. Static voices spoke from far away, As we held our breath in Tennessee hay. [Verse 2] Mama’s tears mixed with Daddy’s grin, When they saw that lunar dust kickin’ in. Ain't much changed in our world so small, But up there, it felt like we stood tall. [Chorus] We walked on the moon, while we stood on this ground, Dreams larger than life in a one-horse town. From cornfields to stars, we felt something grand, Way up there, on that moonlit land. [Verse 3] Old Joe at the diner cracked a smile, Said he’d never seen life past a country mile. But that night in '69 did something right, Lit up our spirits, and gave us light. [Verse 4] Farmer John said the crops could wait, As he watched history illuminate. In a world where not much ever changed, We all felt a shift on that lunar stage. [Chorus] We walked on the moon, while we stood on this ground, Dreams larger than life in a one-horse town. From cornfields to stars, we felt something grand, Way up there, on that moonlit land.
