Lyrics
**Instrumental Intro**
**Riff**
**Chorus:**
(Oh) Maria's life, wide open skies,
Nothin' but time, chasin' the sunrise,
In the heartland, where the green fields lie,
Findin' my peace, under the blue MidWest sky.
**Verse 1:**
Out here where the corn whispers secrets,
My boots kick up dust where the earth's deepest,
Lonely roads, but my heart's in a festive,
This prairie life, it's just so majestic.
**Verse 2:**
Sun's settin' low, cattle hummin' low,
Rockin' on the porch, I watch the river's flow,
The wind's my friend, it's got stories to bestow,
In the simple life, that's all I need to know.
**Riff**
**Chorus:**
(Oh) Maria's life, with the stars so bright,
Dancin' with shadows in the pale moonlight,
It's a solo dance, but it feels just right,
In the silence, my soul takes flight.
**Verse 3:**
Mornin' dew on the old oak tree,
Chickens cluckin', settin' their spirits free,
This land's my kin, it's part of me,
In this solitude, I find my glee.
**Verse 4:**
Harvest moon, guide my dreams,
Through winter's chill and summer's beams,
Life's simple here, or so it seems,
In the quiet, I weave my themes.
**Riff**
**Chorus:**
(Oh) Maria's life, it's a lonesome song,
But in this vastness, I belong,
With every acre, my heart grows strong,
This farm's my love, it's where I throng.
**Riff**
**Chorus:**
(Oh) Maria's life, it's a tale untold,
Of open fields and a heart so bold,
In the MidWest's arms, I'll grow old,
With my lands and beasts, my story's scrolled.
**Chorus:**
(Oh) Maria's life, it's a quiet bliss,
In every chore, there's a moment not to miss,
With the earth's embrace, and the sun's sweet kiss,
It's a life of joy, it's pure happiness.

(Oh) Maria's life, it's a tale untold,
Of open fields and a heart so bold,

(Oh) Maria's life, it's a quiet bliss,
In every chore, there's a moment not to miss,
With the earth's embrace, and the sun's sweet kiss,
It's a life of joy, it's pure happiness.
