Pine-Needle Sunshine

[Intro] [Acoustic guitar strumming] [Steel slide guitar riff] [Light drums] [Verse 1] Sunrise sneakin’ through the pines [Harmony: soft oohs] Boots hittin’ dirt like an old friend of mine Wind on my face givin’ my soul a lift Feelin’ that daybreak, simple and swift Walkin’ through the woods where the creek runs clear [Harmony: low hum] Every breath I take feels like freedom’s near Birds singin’ harmony everywhere Yeah, I’m breathin’ in that fresh country air [Chorus] [Full band enters] [Harmony: full backing vocals] Ridin’ them trails with the sun on my back Laughin’ with friends on a long dirt track Campfire nights with the stories we share Hearts wide open with nothin’ to spare Love all around me, no worries or cares Yeah, I’m breathin’ in that fresh country air [Verse 2] [Acoustic + steel slide fills] Tent stakes down by the old oak tree [Harmony: soft oohs] Coffee on the fire, that’s home to me Friends gather ’round when the daylight fades Singin’ old songs in the soft blue haze Moon climbs up like it’s pullin’ us near [Harmony: low hum] Every mile out here makes the world more clear Life feels lighter when you’re livin’ out there Just breathin’ in that fresh country air [Bridge] [Organ pad + steel slide lead] Oh, the city can keep its neon glow [Harmony: gentle oohs] I’ll take starlight and a gravel road Where love grows wild and the nights feel fair And every breath is a little prayer [Final Chorus] [Full band + gospel choir + handclaps] [Harmony: full backing vocals] Ridin’ them trails with the sun on my back Laughin’ with friends on a long dirt track Campfire nights with the stories we share Hearts beatin’ strong in the wide-open air Love all around me, no worries or cares [Choir: “No worries, no cares”] Voices all risin’ together in prayer Hands to the sky like we’re already there Hallelujah for that fresh country air [Tag] [Gospel choir + steel slide outro] Hallelujah, hallelujah Breathin’ in that fresh country air
