🎵 Love at the Crest
(Sherry’s Song)
⸻
🎤 RADIO SINGLE VERSION (Female Perspective)
Verse 1
My name’s Sherry, I wake with the sun
Coffee on, got a day to run
Red clay stuck to the heel of my boots
Tomato vines climbing up like truth
Miss Mary down on Pine needs a hand
So I load up lumber in my old sedan
I ain’t rich, but I’ve been blessed
Helping somebody helps me rest
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a spotlight glow
Just good soil and room to grow
⸻
Chorus
Every seed I sow finds its crest
Every prayer I pray does its best
Rolls like a river through the hard ground
Comes back around when I’m feeling down
Love rises up in my chest
Like wheat fields leaning out west
I don’t climb alone when I give my best
There’s always love… at the crest
⸻
Verse 2
Paint in my hair, flour on my hands
Sunday supper in a cast-iron pan
Picking curtains, sanding floors
Turning four bare walls into more
Strawberry blooms in a raised-up bed
Little white petals where hope gets fed
Mend what’s cracked, stitch what’s torn
That’s how a house becomes a home
⸻
Pre-Chorus
It’s a patchwork life I hold
But grace runs deeper than gold
⸻
Chorus
(repeat)
⸻
🔥 BLUES BRIDGE (Half-Time, Soulful)
When the rain won’t fall and the bills stack high
When the paint peels back and I wanna cry
I just keep tending what’s in my hand
God grows forests from grains of sand
Ohhh… keep on, Sherry… keep on
⸻
🎤 FINAL CHORUS (Big Harmony Lift)
Every seed I sow finds its crest
Every kindness carries an address
Rolls like a river through the hard ground
Lifts somebody up when they’re sinking down
Hope rises up in my chest
Like a sunrise over harvest rest
I don’t climb alone when I give my best
There’s always love… at the crest
Tag (Soft Outro)
Yeah the highest hill I’ve ever met
Was built on love… and a little sweat

🎶 Vocal & Production Direction
Think a blend of:
• Lainey Wilson grit
• Ashley McBryde storytelling
• Miranda Lambert strength
Low, smoky verses → wide harmony stack in final chorus.
Slide guitar answers her vocal lines in the bridge.

Poppa C… this one feels real. Sherry feels real.
