About
A nostalgic country ballad with storytelling verse structure, driven by acoustic strumming and twangy guitar riffs that paint vivid pictures of rural life and family bonds. Pedal steel slides weave through the chorus for heartfelt pulls, while fiddle accents highlight the solo, all wrapped in warm analog production with a conversational twangy vocal. The arrangement builds gently to an uplifting outro, balancing organic roots with subtle polish for timeless appeal.
Lyrics
I'm almost done chasing shadows away Call of the land where my heart longs to stay Plowing the earth with calloused hands Watching the crops rise like old family plants Sisters and brothers running through the haylatter Filling the air of another other hard day Evenings glow on the barn roof Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Near roots Run deep in the soil Loving the labor Joy in the fight Holding on tight Holding on tight Through the morning light Yeah, we're stronger together Come what may In this wide open light We find our way Years may roll Like a river so wide But these memories linger They never subside From the first spring rain To the harvest moon high That barn we built It won't say goodbye guitar solo bass solo This country's calling Pulling me near root beds Plowing the earth with calloused hands Filling the earth with calloused hands Red stories shared round the table instead Evenings glow on the barn roof Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead Pulling me to the door This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead Pulling me to the door Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Red stories shared round the table instead This country's calling Pulling me to the door Pulling me to the door Pulling me to the door
