Gravel Road Dreams

[Intro] [Acoustic guitar strums, soft steel guitar enters] [Male Vocal, warm and steady] [Verse 1] Sunrise paintin' the east sky gold, another day begins Coffee's black and the stories old, like the dust on my workin' jeans Got a truck with a dent in the passenger side, seen a million miles or more Out here where the honest folks ride, far from the city's door [Chorus] [Male Vocal, full band enters, steady drum b**t] Yeah, I'm a country boy, with dirt on my hands and truth in my stride Singin' simple songs, 'bout the land I love and the life I'm livin' inside Gravel roads and open fields, that's where my spirit reels Just a country boy, that's all I'll ever be [Verse 2] Spend my days beneath the sun, watchin' crops grow tall and green Evenin' brings the work undone, a peaceful, quiet scene Got a dog named Blue and a porch swing slow, listenin' to the crickets hum Don't need much, just watchin' life flow, waitin' for the mornin' to come [Chorus] [Male Vocal, full band, slightly more energetic] Yeah, I'm a country boy, with dirt on my hands and truth in my stride Singin' simple songs, 'bout the land I love and the life I'm livin' inside Gravel roads and open fields, that's where my spirit reels Just a country boy, that's all I'll ever be [Guitar Solo] [Twangy electric guitar solo with steel guitar backing, drums and bass hold steady] [Bridge] [Male Vocal, slightly more reflective, instrumentation pulls back slightly] Some folks chase the bright city lights, thinkin' that's where life is grand But I find my peace in starry nights, with my boots sunk deep in this land [Chorus] [Male Vocal, powerful, full band, harmonies enter] Yeah, I'm a country boy, with dirt on my hands and truth in my stride Singin' simple songs, 'bout the land I love and the life I'm livin' inside Gravel roads and open fields, that's where my spirit reels Just a country boy, that's all I'll ever be [Outro] [Male Vocal, "Yeah, a country boy...", fades with acoustic guitar, steel guitar, and a gentle drum b**t]
