Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boots on the rail Dust on my jeans Sun sinking slow Gold on the evergreens Cold can in my hand Day rolling off my mind Sky taking its time I got nothing but time [Chorus] Living on the mountainside Watching that fire in the sky fade Aspen leaves talking low In a slow Easy kind of wave Deer in the tall grass Tails in the breeze World feels small from a porch like this Quiet in my chest Calm in my bones This is what forever is [Verse 2] Wind through the chimes Soft as a prayer One truck on the road Then there’s just air Smoke from the grill Floating out over the ridge I swear I hear peace In every break of a twig [Chorus] Living on the mountainside Watching that fire in the sky fade Aspen leaves talking low In a slow Easy kind of wave Deer in the tall grass Tails in the breeze World feels small from a porch like this Quiet in my chest Calm in my bones This is what forever is [Bridge] I’ve chased that rush I’ve worn that grind Thought I needed more Than a simple life But right here Right now With this view This beer I’m finally sure What I’m doing here [Chorus] Living on the mountainside Watching that fire in the sky fade Aspen leaves talking low In a slow Easy kind of wave Deer in the tall grass Tails in the breeze World feels small from a porch like this Quiet in my chest Calm in my bones This is what forever is

Warm country ballad with male vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft brushed snare carry the verses, pedal steel glides in for the chorus. Subtle upright bass and organ pad fill out the low end; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a gentle tambourine lift. Intimate, close-mic vocal tone, laid-back swing, sunset glow in the mix.
