[Intro: Soft, relaxed instrumental intro with subtle acoustic guitar strums and faint harmonies] [Verse 1: light and easy instrumental feel, with a slight buildup at the end] Dirt road dust, brings memories No painted lines, just you and me Country’s a song, a panorama It’s poetic, perfect note drama Water hole swims, cliff jumping joy Smiles brim, on girls and boys Country things, the root of life It gives us wings, as we take flight [Chorus: uplifting, memorable chorus with fuller instrumentation, bringing in harmonies, light drums, and a bit of steel guitar] Growin' up rural and country Every day was sunny to me Soaking in that down home livin' Never thinkin' we needed more than we were given So good, so much love for a small town With a sky so blue, can't feel down Where I feel just a bit lucky Thankin' the stars, growin' up country For growin' up country [Verse 2: Gentle, steady rhythm with slightly deeper bass notes. Layer with minimal percussion and slide guitar] Train tracks walks and fields of corn Talkin’ shit, to those who scorn Peace and calm, in fields so wide No price can buy, how that feels inside Water lapping, shoreline breeze Hammock napping, tranquil ease Country life, it takes its time Quiet days, that ease the mind [Bridge: reflective bridge with stripped-back guitar, soft pedal steel, and a slower, deliberate rhythm. Gentle harmonies, and keep it light to lead smoothly back into the final chorus] We hope that time will make no changes but eyes close and open to find old sights stolen but hey, I'm just lucky... [Chorus: uplifting, memorable chorus with fuller instrumentation, bringing in harmonies, light drums, and a bit of steel guitar] I grew up in the country [Outro: soft, fading melody that echoes the chorus with gentle guitar and faint harmonies, keeping the rhythm slow and easy. Fade out gradually
