Wide Open Maine
Verse 1
Sun rolls up on a wide flat field,
Morning frost on a rusted steel,
Boots hit dirt where the fence line runs,
No trees to hide from the rising sun.
Coffee’s strong and the air cuts clean,
Nothing but miles of open green,
Wind talks low through the wire and grain,
This is our life out here in Maine.
Chorus
We’re pulling eggs in the breaking light,
Sky goes gold and the world feels right,
No walls around us, just land and sky,
Where the cold winds hit and the hawks fly high.
From summer heat to that winter sting,
Every day’s what the hard work brings,
Out in the open where the tall grass sways,
We’re building something that’s here to stay.
Verse 2
Hens run loose in the morning air,
Dust and feathers everywhere,
Old red barn with the paint worn thin,
Storms roll hard but we hold it in.
Tracks in the dirt from a fox last night,
Keep one eye out in the fading light,
No easy road and no quick gain,
Just sweat and time in the open plain.
Verse 3
Side by side in the early dawn,
Working this land we’re standing on,
You and me and these birds we raise,
Built on trust and long hard days.
Every coop and every fence line set,
Every moment we won’t forget,
In every egg and every mile we roam,
It ain’t just a farm it’s a life we own.
Chorus
We’re pulling eggs in the breaking light,
Sky goes gold and the world feels right,
No walls around us, just land and sky,
Where the cold winds hit and the hawks fly high.
From summer heat to that winter sting,
Every day’s what the hard work brings,
Out in the open where the tall grass sways,
We’re building something that’s here to stay.
Bridge
Ain’t no hiding when the north wind blows,
You stand your ground that’s all you know,
Clouds roll heavy then they break apart,
Same as life same as a farmer’s heart,
Every egg in that weathered crate,
Is one more step one more day.
Outro Chorus
Yeah we’re pulling eggs in the breaking light,
Under a sky that’s wide and bright,
No shortcuts here just work and pride,
And the open land stretching far and wide,
When the sun drops low and the shadows lay,
We stand on ground we built this way,
Out in the open where the tall grass sways,
This is our life wide open Maine.
