Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare feet on a red dirt road Dust on my daddy’s old Ford Snuck our first sip in the backseat Laughed till the stars got bored Radio low But our hearts loud Neon over that rodeo crowd You took my hand in the pale moon glow Said "Don’t you ever let this go" [Chorus] We were growin’ up under Texas skies Countin’ every star in your blue-green eyes Lone Star bottles on a rusted tailgate Two-step turnin’ into stayin’ out late Cowboy hats Tight jeans Long slow kisses (mm) Strong whiskey burnin’ Better friends in the distance Yeah Every little heartbreak Every little high We were learnin’ how to live it right Just growin’ up in Texas night by night [Verse 2] Friday at the fairground lights Boot scuffs on the plywood floor DJ spinnin’ that same old song We’d heard a thousand times before You’d spin around Fringe on your vest Say "This small town’s still the best" We’d toast to dreams we couldn’t name Swear we’d never stay the same [Chorus] We were growin’ up under Texas skies Countin’ every star in your blue-green eyes Lone Star bottles on a rusted tailgate Two-step turnin’ into stayin’ out late Cowboy hats Tight jeans Long slow kisses (oh) Strong whiskey burnin’ Better friends in the distance Yeah Every little heartbreak Every little high We were learnin’ how to live it right Just growin’ up in Texas night by night [Bridge] We traded tassels for barroom tabs Cheap perfume and leather scabs Some moved on Some settled down Some still close this shaky town Raise that glass for who we were For every "maybe " every "sir" If I could go back I’d do it twice (twice) Same dirt road Same reckless life [Chorus] We were growin’ up under Texas skies Countin’ every star in your blue-green eyes Lone Star bottles on a rusted tailgate Two-step turnin’ into stayin’ out late Cowboy hats Tight jeans Long slow kisses (yeah) Strong whiskey burnin’ Better friends in the distance Yeah Every little heartbreak Every little high We were learnin’ how to live it right Just growin’ up in Texas night by night [Outro] Texas nights Texas nights Strong whiskey Better friends for life

pop, Modern radio pop with a warm country glow; male vocals over crisp drums, bright acoustic guitars, and a round bass groove. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, little electric fills in the gaps; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a big four-on-the-floor kick, tambourine, and crowd-chant backing. Bridge strips back to vocal and guitar, then final chorus explodes with extra ad-libs and a lifted key feel., strong
