Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sittin’ by the fire Old songs hummin’ low Rum in this mason jar Watchin’ that red oak glow Cousins on a tailgate Granddad tellin’ tales slow We got nowhere to be And that’s all I wanna know [Chorus] Rum by the firelight All of my people right here tonight Laugh ’til we’re cryin’, can’t say why Stars hangin’ heavy in a holy sky Rum by the firelight (oh yeah) Feelin’ that love cut deep and quiet I swear this simple little piece of time Feels like heaven in my life [Verse 2] Auntie’s in the lawn chair Kickin’ off her worn boots Card games on the cooler Someone passin’ round the fruit Kids chasin’ their shadows Dog snorin’ in the dirt We toast to the ones gone Name ’em softly till it hurts [Chorus] Rum by the firelight All of my people right here tonight Laugh ’til we’re cryin’, can’t say why Stars hangin’ heavy in a holy sky Rum by the firelight (hey!) Feelin’ that love cut deep and quiet I swear this simple little piece of time Feels like heaven in my life [Bridge] Spark after spark Floatin’ up, floatin’ higher Feels like every little soul we’ve loved Is dancin’ in that fire Hands raised, eyes closed Thankful just to be Right here in this circle Where the good Lord meets with me [Chorus] Rum by the firelight All of my people right here tonight Laugh ’til we’re cryin’, can’t say why Stars hangin’ heavy in a holy sky Rum by the firelight (oh yeah) Feelin’ that love cut deep and quiet I’ll keep this simple little piece of time Burnin’ in my heart tonight

country, Warm country-blues campfire jam with male vocals, brushed snare, upright bass, and lazy slide guitar. Verses stay low and intimate; chorus opens up with big harmonies, stomps and claps, and a singalong feel. Subtle organ pad and soft tambourine shimmer in the high end as the track builds, then strips back to vocal and guitar on the last line., bright, blues, light
