Part of this album is the result of me asking the question: What would modern day cowboy songs sound like. This song is truly autobiographical.
lyrics
It's hot in the summer
We in the creek and we in the shade
Skipping stones with my family
Ice cold lemonade
Head in time for supper
We cooking salmon, and white wine
PJ's, we'll retire
Singing until we fall asleep
Drive north up to the city
Where our heart of hearts live
We uncover treasures
From where we used to live
Head back to the country
Where I always saw myself
Grey hair and an old rocking chair
Laughing at my grandchildren
When I get to heaven
A lot of people I want to see
When you get up to heaven
I hope that you'll want to see me
I'll be back in the corner
With all my family and my friends
And all the old cowboy hero's
Picking my guitar for them.
