Sunset paintin' 'cross the land, another day is done
Got my beautiful wife by my hand, beneath the settin' sun
Dusty road beneath our tires, my old Chevy rolls so slow
Got no need for city lights, just the fire's gentle glow
Oh, candlelight and my old Chevy, out here in the backwoods deep
Got my sweet love close beside me, secrets that the tall pines keep
Stars are blinkin', moon is risin', a perfect night, just us two
This simple life, I wouldn't trade it, for anything I ever knew
Pulled it over, killed the engine, heard the crickets start to sing
Opened up the cooler, darlin', just a little somethin' to bring
Spread a blanket on the tailgate, watchin' fireflies ignite
Every moment with you, baby, makes everything feel just right
Oh, candlelight and my old Chevy, out here in the backwoods deep
Got my sweet love close beside me, secrets that the tall pines keep
Stars are blinkin', moon is risin', a perfect night, just us two
This simple life, I wouldn't trade it, for anything I ever knew
Some folks chase the silver and gold, the fast lane and the bright lights
But all I need is here to hold, under these peaceful country nights
Your hand in mine, a gentle sigh, the smell of pine and damp earth
This is where my heart feels high, this is where I find my worth
Oh, candlelight and my old Chevy, out here in the backwoods deep
Got my sweet love close beside me, secrets that the tall pines keep
Stars are blinkin', moon is risin', a perfect night, just us two
This simple life, I wouldn't trade it, for anything I ever knew
Yeah, backwoods bliss, a tender kiss, just you and me, my dear
Candlelight and Chevy, banish every doubt and fear.
