Verse 1
Morning light on a dusty road
Boots on the porch, nowhere to go
Birds singing soft in the tall pine trees
Just the wind and the summer breeze
Deer running wild through the golden field
Life’s the kinda joy you can’t buy or steal
Got a smile and a sky so blue
And the whole wide world feels brand new
Pre-Chorus
A bottle of whiskey that never runs dry
Friends laughing while the day rolls by
Chorus
Let the sunshine in your heart tonight
Watch that sunset burning bright
Love is drifting through the air
Like a sweet old country prayer
Campfire glowing, sparks in the dark
Cold six-pack waiting by the park
Birds are singing, the stars all start
Let the sunshine in your heart
Verse 2
Crickets humming by the firelight
Stories growing bigger every night
Smoke rising slow to the milky sky
While the old guitar begins to cry
Boots tapping to a simple song
Where the whole damn world can sing along
Raise a beer to the open land
Freedom fits in the palm of your hand
Pre-Chorus
That whiskey bottle still going strong
Like this little backwoods song
Chorus
Let the sunshine in your heart tonight
Watch that sunset burning bright
Love is drifting through the air
Like a sweet old country prayer
Campfire glowing, sparks in the dark
Cold six-pack waiting by the park
Birds are singing, the stars all start
Let the sunshine in your heart
Bridge
If the road gets rough and the night feels long
Just remember where you belong
Where the deer run free and the rivers flow
And the good times never say no
Final Chorus
Let the sunshine in your heart tonight
Hold your people close and tight
Love is dancing everywhere
Floating through the country air
Campfire blazing, guitars and art
Whiskey warming every heart
Raise that six-pack, play your part
Let the sunshine in your heart
Outro
Birds will sing with the morning start
Let the sunshine in your heart
