Sun-Tanned in the Countryside

[Verse 1]
Kicked off my shoes in the truck bed dust
Laugh lines deeper than the tire track ruts
You steal my cap, spin circles in the rye
Grass-stained knees, sun in your eyes
[Chorus]
Sun-tanned in the countryside
You and that wild little smile of mine
Cheap cold beer, passing time
Heartbeats racing an old fence line
If this is all we ever find
I’m good just getting
Sun-tanned in the countryside
[Verse 2]
Radio low, your bare feet on the dash
Peach pit flying past the cattle guard latch
You say "slow down," I kill the engine’s hum
Just crickets, our breathing, and a red evening sun
[Chorus]
Sun-tanned in the countryside
You and that wild little smile of mine
Cheap cold beer, passing time
Heartbeats racing an old fence line
If this is all we ever find
I’m good just getting
Sun-tanned in the countryside

country, Laid-back country-pop groove with brushed drums, warm bass, and bright acoustic guitars; male vocals easy and playful. Verses stay intimate with close-mic delivery, chorus opens up with stacked harmonies and a breezy whistle hook. Subtle organ pad underlines the warmth, tambourine lifts the final chorus.
