Best Country Music Mix Of All Time – Whiskey, Roads & Memories

Raised on fields of golden wheat Barefoot summers, dusty streets Friday nights at the county fair First slow dance under porch light glare I got a small town heart and big sky dreams Simple life and warm blue jeans Every sunrise paints a brand new start But I'll always have this small town heart Prayers and daddy's pride Church bells ringing every Sunday night Bonfire crackles, stories told Lessons learned in fields of gold I got a small town heart and big sky dreams Simple life and warm blue jeans Every sunrise paints a brand new start But I'll always have this small town heart Even if I chase the city lights Big old world or fancy flights I'll find my way back through the dark Guided by my small town heart I got a small town heart and big sky dreams Simple life and warm blue jeans Every sunrise paints a brand new start But I'll always have this small town heart Heart on this midnight lane Heartache mixing with the whiskey and rain Old bar stool and a lonesome tune Echoes of youth fill this empty room Whiskey and rain falling the same Washing away all this pain Every drop on the windowpane Feels like tears calling your name Neon signs flicker like dreams gone cold Your goodbye story never gets old I raise my glass to what we lost Drowning memories counting the calls Whiskey and rain falling the same Washing away all this pain Every drop on the windowpane Feels like tears calling your name Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine But tonight this bottle's mine Heavy heart in the pouring storm Missing you still keeps me warm Whiskey and rain falling the same Washing away all this pain Every drop on the windowpane Feels like tears calling your name Whiskey and rain both know my song Helping me let go moving on But tonight this bottle's mine Heavy heart in the pouring storm Missing you still keeps me warm Whiskey and rain both know my song Helping me let go moving on There's an old barn down the lane Weathered wood and windowpanes Rusty nails and haystack beds Where childhood dreams once laid their heads Swinging rope from beams so high Touching clouds in a paper sky Secret forts and whispered plans Carved initials in the sand Old barn memories warm and bright Echoes soft in fading light Dusty beams and sunlit rays Take me back to those sweet days Thunderstorms would shake those walls We'd count each drop as it would fall Mama calling from the door Dinner's ready run once more Old barn memories warm and bright Echoes soft in fading light Dusty beams and sunlit rays Take me back to those sweet days I stand here grown and wise Tears well up in misty eyes The barn still stands though time has flown But part of me will call it home Old barn memories never fade In my heart they're safely laid Life moves on and seasons turn But in that barn my dreams still burn Close my eyes and I'm ten years old Back in that barn wild and free Where the best parts still live in me Just a small town heart on a dusty street Worn out boots on tired feet Coffee shops and old time stores Friendly faces open doors Friday nights the fairground glow First slow dance under lantern show Pickup trucks and radio songs Holding hands where we belong A small town heart, big wide dreams Rusty barns and quiet streams Stars above and fields below A simple life where love can grow Mama's pie on window sills Grandpa's stories, time stands still Church bells ring, it's Sunday noon Kids play ball near the harvest moon A small town heart, big wide dreams Rusty barns and quiet streams Stars above and fields below A simple life where love can grow Maybe someday I'll leave this place Chase the world at a faster pace But no matter where my boots will roam This small town heart will lead me home A small town heart, big wide dreams Rusty barns and quiet streams Front porch nights and skies so bright I'll carry this heart all my life Just a small town heart Being strong beneath the stars I took the road, I chased the lights Left that farm one summer night Dreams too big for that little town And a restless heart that couldn't settle down He waved me off at the county line Smiled and said, go live your time But I could see it in his eyes He never meant to leave that life My brother stayed when I moved on Fixed the fence and mowed the lawn Held mama's hand when she got weak Dug the well, patched the creek He never asked for thanks or praise He just stood strong in quiet ways While I ran fast and I ran far He held the home, he was the home Years went by, I came back home With city scars and a tired tone The barn still stood, the porch light burned And there he was saying, boots on burn My brother stayed when I moved on Fixed the fence and mowed the lawn Held mama's hand when she got weak Dug the well, patched the creek He never asked for thanks or praise He just stood strong in quiet ways While I chased dreams and songs to play He built a life that wouldn't stray Now he's got two boys and a weathered grin And I see myself where I might have been But there's no regret in either face Just different roles, same grace My brother stayed and I'm proud he did He lived the truth while I just hid He showed that love don't always shout It holds the lighter ones out So when they write on Lee's page Crow's name is on his stage He didn't run, he didn't trade My brother stayed Bare feet on that kitchen tile Coffee brewing, biscuits warm She's the fire in this old farm Hair tied back, apron on Hums a hymn till the day is gone We never had much in our hands But we had love And that was her plan Mama's light, it never fades Through stormy nights and broken days She held this house with gentle grace Wiped our tears and blessed our place No gold or crown, no grand delight Just heaven's strength in Mama's light She patched our clothes and hearts the same Spoke with eyes more than with names Taught us right with no big speech Just by living what she preached Mama's light, it never fades Through stormy nights and broken days She held this house with gentle grace Wiped our tears and blessed our place No gold or crown, no grand delight Just heaven's strength in Mama's light Now I see her in life's eyes And in the way our daughter tries To hum that tune at break of day And smile the same sweet selfless way Mama's light, it's burning still In every quiet, on every hill In the hands that hold in prayers at night In every meal and every fight She gave us roots, she gave us life And I still walk by Mama's light Left that town with a heart half full Chasing dreams, feeling young and bold Big city lights, they shine so bright But I miss the stars in that quiet night It's a long way home when you're far from your roots Trying to find yourself in worn out boots Every turn brings me back again To dirt road songs and childhood friends Skyscrapers never knew my name I'm just a boy from a two lane lane Mama's voice on the telephone Saying son, you're never really gone It's a long way home when you're far from your roots Trying to find yourself in worn out boots Every turn brings me back again To dirt road songs and childhood friends No matter how far I roam My heart beats back where the fields have grown I carry it on wherever I go That little white house and the gravel road It's a long way home when you're far from your roots Trying to find yourself in worn out boots Every turn brings me back again To dirt road songs and childhood friends It's a long way home, but I'm headed there again I still remember that July sky You in my truck, hair blowing wild Laughing at nothing, just you and me A little town love and a big dream free You wore my flannel boots in the mud We carved our names in that oak with love Fireflies danced while the crickets sang And time stood still down that winding lane Now I'm back on that old dirt road Where we kiss slow and the wildflowers grow It's just me and the breeze and a memory Of a love I lost but still believe Oh, darl, I ain't let you go I'm not back here on that old dirt road You chased the city, I stayed behind With a broken heart and a bottle of wine They say folks change and life moves fast But I still hold on to our country past Now I'm back on that old dirt road Where we kiss slow and the wildflowers grow It's just me and the breeze and a memory Of a love I lost but still believe Oh, darl, I ain't let you go I'm not back here on that old dirt road Sometimes I hear your voice in the pine Saying, boy, you'll always be mine Ghosts don't hug and dreams don't stay Still I drive that road anyway Yeah, I'm back on that old dirt road Where the sun sets gold and your shadow shows It's just me and a song and a memory Of a love too strong to ever leave Oh, deep in my soul You're still here on that old dirt road She packed her bags by the old screen door Left her boots on that faded floor The town still stands but it don't feel right Since she drove off into the night Main street's quiet, lights burn low Ain't the same since she let go That corner booth at Bobby's Cafe Still holds her laugh from yesterday That water tower with our carved names Fades like echoes in the summer rain She said, this town's too small for dreams Now I just haunt these old routines Every road she touched turned to dust And left me here in what once was She took the town with her when she left She was more than just a girl, she was a song That made this place feel like home Now the sky don't shine and stones stir Yes, she took the town with her Friday nights don't feel like fun Just empty beers and setting sun She said goodbye without a sound But the silence still shakes this town She took the town with her when she left More than just a girl, she was a song That made this place feel like home Now the sky don't shine and the winds don't stir Yes, she took the town with her Walk these streets like a ghost in pain Pray someday she'll come again She packed her bags by the old screen door Left her boots on that faded floor The town still stands but it don't feel right Since she drove off into the night Main street's quiet, lights burn low Ain't the same since she let go That corner booth at Bobby's Cafe Still holds her laugh from yesterday That water tower with our carved names Fades like echoes in the summer rain She said this town's too small for dreams Now I just haunt these old routines Every road she touched turned to dust Fades like echoes in the summer rain She said this town's too small for dreams Now I just haunt these old routines Every road she touched turned to dust Left me here in what once was She took the town with her when she left All the color, all the bread She was more than just a girl, she was the song That made this place feel like home Now the sky don't shine and the winds don't stir Yeah, she took the town with her The Friday nights don't feel like fun Just empty beers and setting suns She said goodbye to the sound But the silence shakes this town She took the town with her when she left All the color, all the bread She was more than just a girl, she was the song That made this place feel like home Now the sky don't shine and the winds don't stir Yeah, she took the town with her With her Walk these streets like a ghost in pain And pray someday she'll come again Orange skies paint the end of day Golden light where the children play Fence posts lean, shadows fall Evening whispers a gentle call Sunset over fields calm and wide Takes my troubles, lets me hide Colors fade but peace reveals In that sunset over fields Crickets singing soft and low Fireflies start their tiny glow Hay bales stacked, the world feels right Wrapped in the arms of coming night Sunset over fields calm and wide Takes my troubles, lets me hide Colors fade but peace reveals In that sunset over fields When the weight is hard to bear I find solace in the air That golden hour always heals With the sunset over fields Sunset over fields calm and wide Takes my troubles, lets me hide Colors fade but peace reveals In that sunset over fields When the weight is hard to bear I find solace in the air That golden hour always heals With the sunset over fields In that sunset over fields All is quiet, all is here You in that sundress Barefoot in the grass Laughing like time would never pass Magnolia trees swaying in the breeze Holding you close was all I'd ever need Sweet magnolia nights Soft and slow Stars above putting on a show Your hand in mine Hearts aligned Those sweet magnolia nights Still fill my mind Fireflies danced As the crickets played Whispers of love we never betrayed Old love song radio We moved real slow in the moonlight glow Sweet magnolia nights Soft and slow Stars above putting on a show Your hand in mine Hearts aligned Those sweet magnolia nights Still fill my mind Seasons change and time rolls on But that feeling's never gone Every cent of summer rain Takes me right back again Sweet magnolia nights Soft and slow Stars above putting on a show Your hand in mine Hearts aligned Those sweet magnolia nights Still fill my mind Yeah, those sweet magnolia nights Still hold me tight Thanks for watching!
