Lyrics
[Verse]
The red clay stains the cuffs of these denim pants
While the sun hangs heavy like a gold watch chain
I walk the row where the shadows perform a dance
And the crows are calling out for the evening rain
My father’s boots are resting by the kitchen door
Telling stories that the newspapers never tell
I don’t need the maps to find what I am looking for
The bucket is waiting at the bottom of the well
[Chorus]
He is a country boy with the wind for a brother
Rooted in the soil where the wild clover grows
Learning the language of one hill to another
Following the path that the creek water knows
No iron gates can hold back the morning light
He is a country boy until the dead of night
[Verse]
The radio is humming a tune from a long time ago
The porch swing creaks like a ship on a quiet bay
I watch the corn stalks standing in a steady row
Waiting for the harvest to carry the seeds away
There is a stillness that speaks louder than a crowd
A kingdom built of timber and weathered stone
I wrap my shoulders in a blanket made of cloud
Content to be standing here entirely alone
[Chorus]
He is a country boy with the wind for a brother
Rooted in the soil where the wild clover grows
Learning the language of one hill to another
Following the path that the creek water knows
No iron gates can hold back the morning light
He is a country boy until the dead of night
