[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
