[Verse 1]
The pines hum low
The air hangs still
A creek carves whispers through the hill
Here in Payson
The world don't shout
It just breathes in
And breathes out
[Chorus]
Here in Payson
Skies stay wide
The stars
They linger
They don't hide
Life don't hurry
Life don't race
Here in Payson
It finds its place
[Verse 2]
Dust on boots
And a cloudless hue
The wind tells stories the rocks once knew
There's a porch that creaks
A dog that sleeps
And a silence the heart still keeps
[Chorus]
Here in Payson
Skies stay wide
The stars
They linger
They don't hide
Life don't hurry
Life don't race
Here in Payson
It finds its place
[Bridge]
The oak tree bends
But never breaks
Time here heals what the world forsakes
With every sunset
The shadows grow
Yet the warmth of the earth still holds
[Chorus]
Here in Payson
Skies stay wide
The stars
They linger
They don't hide
Life don't hurry
Life don't race
Here in Payson
It finds its place
