Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Acoustic guitar + porch ambience] When I was young… I thought I wanted a big life. Now? I just want a quiet one. ⸻ [Verse 1] 🎶 I done been to parties, I done wore nice suits, I done had people trying to fill my shoes. I done had money, I done had none, I done been praised and I done been shunned. And after all that running around, All that trying to hold it down… I found out what matters to me… A little bit of peace. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 I just want a quiet life, A porch and a little light. Someone sitting next to me… That’s enough for me. I just want a quiet life, No need to be recognized. If I’m loved and I’m free… That’s enough for me. 🎶 ⸻ [Verse 2] 🎶 I don’t need to be the loudest voice, I don’t need the biggest choice. I don’t need everybody to know my name, I don’t need fortune or fame. Just give me Sunday morning sun, Someone who call me “hon.” Coffee brewing, slow guitar… That’s all I need, not much at all. 🎶 ⸻ [Hook] 🎶 I just want a quiet life, A porch and a little light. Someone sitting next to me… That’s enough for me. 🎶 ⸻ [Bridge – Soft, emotional] 🎶 I spent my whole life learning how to be a gentleman… Now I’m learning how to just be a man. 🎶 ⸻ [Final Verse] 🎶 So if you ever see me somewhere sitting slow, Watching people come and go… Just know I finally found… What I was looking for. 🎶 ⸻ [Outro – Guitar fading, porch sounds] Yeah… A quiet life. That’s the gentleman’s reward.
