Fresh Air Refusal

Mud on my boots

Sun on my neck

Old dog sleeping

On the porch step

Phone keeps buzzing

I let it ring

City keeps calling

I don't owe it a thing

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside

Got my heart hung out on this old fence line

Let the world keep spinning on the other side

I'm staying where the wheat fields wave

Where the sky runs wide

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside

Grandma's coffee

In a chipped blue cup

Neighbors waving

In a rusted truck

Calendar says

I'm supposed to grow

Pack my bags

But my roots say no

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside

Got my heart hung out on this old fence line

Let the world keep spinning on the other side

I'm staying where the wheat fields wave

Where the sky runs wide

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside

They got bright careers and crowded trains (oh oh)

I got open roads and summer rain

Guess we all go chasing what we think is right

Me

I'll chase the fireflies

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside

Got my heart hung out on this old fence line

Let the world keep spinning on the other side

I'm staying where the wheat fields wave

Where the sky runs wide

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside (yeah)

I refuse to leave the fresh air at the countryside
