Country Field
I wanna go shoot some beer cans,
light up the night,and drink the moon’s shine.
I wanna see you twirl, in that summer dress
kiss your neck, while headlights burn through my heart.
Fireflies’ll get dizzy when we dance between their flurry,
We’ll fall on grandma’s quilt and stare at the stars.
It can be so bright in a country field,
when it’s not so lonely…
And your smile, is bringin’ me home.
Those muddy tracks were worth it;
got us stuck in each other’s arms.
You’ve got me thinkin’…
That a city girl, with a country heart
ain’t so bad..
You got me thinkin’..
that the sun might rise…
and I won’t even notice..
cos’ your starlight is just
as bright, as any blue eyed country
sky, I’ve ever seen.
So, lets pour a little more
moonshine in these cups,
and dance til’ tomorrow.
We’ll worry bout’ gettin’ home
when the day comes a-knockin’..
but I don’t wanna think about anything else,
but the smile pressed against my cheek.
This country field is heaven,
and you’re the Angel ridin’ shotgun.
Holdin’ me still, on this buck-wild
adventure….
makin’ me feel like bein a cowboy
ain’t bein’ lost..
Like bein’ in this field,
is bein’ at home,
your arms…
the rest that I’ve been looking for.
This field, the home, I’ve always had…
but never thought, I was searchin’ for..
