[Verse 1] Fog sits low on the hollow like a blanket on a bed Rooster crows from the fence post, sun coming up red Coffee on the porch rail, boots still by the door This is what he drove a thousand miles back for Creek sounds like a whisper if you're quiet long enough Perry County morning, Lord that's more than enough [Chorus] Perry County morning Dew still on the ground Hills so green they hurt your eyes The quietest loud sound This is where his roots go deep This is holy ground PERRY COUNTY MORNING Where he finally settled down [Verse 2] Ruth comes out in bare feet with the baby on her hip Gizmo at her ankles doing circles, little trips Kids'll wake up any minute, screen door's gonna fly But right now it's just the two of them Watching God paint the sky [Chorus] Perry County morning Dew still on the ground Hills so green they hurt your eyes The quietest loud sound This is where his roots go deep This is holy ground PERRY COUNTY MORNING Where he finally settled down [Bridge] (breath) He's seen the flatlands and the red clay He's seen the Kansas wheat turn gold But nothing holds a man like home does Nothing keeps him LIKE THESE ROLLING HILLS And the woman standing next to him [Chorus] Perry County morning Dew still on the ground Hills so green they hurt your eyes The quietest loud sound This is where his roots go deep This is holy ground PERRY COUNTY MORNING Where he finally settled down [Outro] (breath) Perry County morning... Good Lord, it's good to be alive
