Stay in the Country

Lyrics
I remember long ago when I was just a boy
I have memories from my childhood when I was just a boy.
Raised in the country that have old country stores
I was raised in the countryside that had old country stores.
Chasing shadows down the road I remember well
I used to chase shadows down the road, and these memories are vivid.
Every story that my mama told in a house near the well
I remember the stories my mother told in a house near the well.
So I'll stay in the country, that's where I was born
I choose to stay in the country because that's where I was born.
Live my life by in Carolina, that's where I belong
I live my life in Carolina, as that's where I feel I belong.
I remember Sunday evening sitting outside
I recall Sunday evenings spent outdoors with my uncles and daddy.
With all my uncles and my daddy by my side
Family bonding was important, and we shared these moments together.
We played those old songs too, we brought the night in
We played old songs, bringing the night in at our country house.
At the house in the country air I remember then
These memories are associated with the country air around our house.
