[Verse 1]
Sun peekin’ over them Greene County hills,
Boots on the porch and I’m chasin’ cheap thrills.
Two hours sleep and I smell like smoke—
Last night’s bonfire still stuck in my coat.
Buzzin’ pager, pocket full o’ change,
Truck full o’ buddies actin’ half-deranged.
Work at sunrise, hell by night—
Livin’ like tomorrow wouldn’t dare show light.
[Chorus]
That Solsberry sunrise hittin’ my eyes,
Fixin’ my brain from the trouble I tried.
Wild child heart with a backwoods grin,
Every damn summer we were livin’ to win.
Now I look back, man, it’s no surprise—
I was raised by them Solsberry sunrises.
[Verse 2]
Hit that gas down McVille Road,
Country boy pride in a secondhand Ford.
Stop at the square with the windows low,
Hank Jr. thumpin’ on the radio.
Girls in cutoffs, laughin’ loud,
Bonfire crackle with a rowdy crowd.
Creek jump water cold as sin—
Feelin’ like kings with the world caving in.
[Chorus]
That Solsberry sunrise hittin’ my eyes,
Fixin’ my brain from the trouble I tried.
Wild child heart with a backwoods grin,
Every damn summer we were livin’ to win.
Now I look back, man, it’s no surprise—
I was raised by them Solsberry sunrises.
[Bridge]
We weren’t bad kids, just loud and free,
Tryin’ to figure out who we might be.
Country raised but big-dream minded—
Faith in our bones even when we blinded.
Every dumb stunt, every late-night roam—
Taught me where I belonged: right here at home.
[Final Chorus]
That Solsberry sunrise hittin’ my eyes,
Fixin’ my soul ‘fore the day got wide.
From a reckless kid with a run-wild grin,
To the man I am, shaped by where I’ve been.
If you want to know my heart, don’t be surprised—
It was carved by them Solsberry sunrises.
Yeah… carved by them Solsberry sunrises.
