Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Late nights, early mornings Coffee on that old pine floor Log cabin in the Smoky Mountains Boot prints by the screen door Pickup truck in the gravel Rust on the tailgate, mud on the tires Moonshine clear in a mason jar Glowin' like a jar of fire [Chorus] Late nights, early mornings Up here where the clouds hang low White chapel on the hillside Sunday songs driftin' soft through the cold I got a heart full of home And a sky full of fading stars Just a backwoods boy sayin' thank you, Lord For this life out in the yard [Verse 2] Heard a heavy thump on the front porch Thought it was the wind at first (uh-huh) Bear knockin' on the door like a neighbor Sniffin' at the screen for a taste of dessert I laughed, said, "Buddy, you can't come in" Clutched that jar, took a tiny sip Watched him wander back to the timberline While the dawn pulled back its sheet [Chorus] Late nights, early mornings Up here where the clouds hang low White chapel on the hillside Sunday songs driftin' soft through the cold I got a heart full of home And a sky full of fading stars Just a backwoods boy sayin' thank you, Lord For this life out in the yard [Bridge] Sometimes I think 'bout leavin' Headin' for some distant town (oh yeah) Then the whippoorwill starts singin' And that thought just settles down 'Cause this old truck, this old porch This old dog asleep on the floor They keep me here, they keep me sure Till the sun cracks open the morn [Chorus] Late nights, early mornings Up here where the clouds hang low White chapel on the hillside Sunday songs driftin' soft through the cold I got a heart full of home And a sky full of fading stars Just a backwoods boy sayin' thank you, Lord For this life and all its scars

country, Warm old-country groove with brushed drums, upright bass, and twangy acoustic guitars. Male vocals up front, gentle baritone. Fiddle and pedal steel weave soft countermelodies. Verses stay intimate and storytelling; chorus widens with stacked harmonies and a sweeter lift. Subtle organ pad in the bridge for gospel warmth, then a relaxed outro that fades like the last campfire ember., smooth
