Sunsets and Solitude

[Intro] (A mellow fingerpicked acoustic guitar pattern begins, joined by soft humming and the distant sound of crickets. A gentle steel guitar slide sets a peaceful evening mood.) [Verse 1] Woke up this mornin’, same as yesterday Put my boots on, to earn my humble pay Don’t have much to show, but my heart is light and free I have all that I need, as you can plainly see [Verse 2] Some people chase money, and buy expensive cars All I need is here, beneath the quiet stars My life is filled with simple dreams, that don’t cost me a dime A contented life without a care, is how I spend my time. [Chorus] Give me sunsets, solitude and campfires aglow A slight eastern breeze slowly passing through the trees The whisper of the pines, and the river's gentle flow Give me sunsets, solitude and campfires aglow [Verse 3] Don’t need a mansion on the hill, just a cabin suits me well With a front porch swing, for me to rest on With my lady by my side, an easy line for us to ride We’ll just live our lives together, like the ocean moves the tides [Break] [Bridge] (Harmonies swell softly) Let the bankers count their money, let the city lights all glow We’ve got peace of mind between us, from a life lived nice and slow [Chorus] Give me sunsets, solitude and campfires aglow A slight eastern breeze slowly passing through the trees The whisper of the pines, and the river's gentle flow Give me sunsets, solitude and campfires aglow Give me sunsets, solitude and campfires aglow [Outro] (Acoustic guitar solo fades gently into the night sounds. The vocal harmonies hum the chorus melody one last time, then slowly drift away. The line "Give me sunsets, solitude and a campfire" is whispered once more as the track fades to silence, leaving only the crackling of a dying fire.)
