PEACEFUL BLUE WATERS

Catfish ROLLING on A glassy lake

Waterfowl ACTING like they own THE place

Swallows DANCING in the wind

Two Otters GOING for a swim

A few deer BLOCKING my dirt road

NO HURRY NO PLACE TO GO

Ch

I US’TA FLY by billboard signs

HEAR GUNSHOTS in the middle of the night

SIRENS SCREAMING in the fast lane

I was ALL caught up in the rat-race

BUT I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT MATTERS

HERE WHERE SOFT GREEN pastures

PUSH UP AGAINST

PEACEFUL BLUE WATERS

v2

This small town is like a Rockwell painting

Rusty ole tractors feral cats playing

Fishing boats PARKED by a bait store

EVERYTHING THE SAME AS A CENTURY before

FAST FOOD AND DRIVE-THRU’S nonexistent

A stray dog stops for a visit

Ch

Bridge

THERE’S a small church up on a hill

CLOSEST SPOT TO HEAVEN far as I can tell

ch

I US’TA FLY by billboard signs

HEAR GUNSHOTS in the middle of the night

SIRENS SCREAMING in the fast lane

I was ALL caught up in the rat-race

BUT I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHAT MATTERS

HERE WHERE SOFT GREEN pastures

PUSH UP AGAINST

PEACEFUL BLUE WATERS

    I like this one

  • it works , thanks

  • Good song.

    Reminded me a bit of John Cougar Mellencamp - I like songs with a nice hook.

    It ran on into 'Midnight on a Moon' - I like a good acoustic guitar instrumental.

    Midnight on a Moon has a violin part and a bass part ,Now to mix them and turn to vid . Well I'm probably the same age as John , Yup I'm 70 and he's 72 , still rocking . 2014–2018: Plain SpokenSad Clowns & Hillbillies and Other People's Stuff. Good hooks lol. Baby boomers who did all the drugs and now eat Kale and our lectures of course.


    Thanks man

  • Great country-folk-rock vibe! Americana from the heartland. Good stuff. I enjoyed listening.

    Cheers,

    Joseph
