open fields

Lyrics

Verse 1
Screen door closin' in the evenin' light
Dust on the dashboard, summer in July
You said stay, but I had to go find
What was callin' past the county line

Chorus
Oh, these open fields keep callin' me home
Where the sky runs wide and the river runs slow
I been runnin' fast, I been runnin' alone
But these open fields gonna bring me home

Verse 2
Radio cracklin' on an old back road
Learned that leavin' don't mean lettin' go
Every mile just taught me what I know
You were the light I carried down that road

Chorus
Oh, these open fields keep callin' me home
Where the sky runs wide and the river runs slow
I been runnin' fast, I been runnin' alone
But these open fields gonna bring me home

Bridge
And if the world gets loud
I know where I can breathe out

Final Chorus - soft
Oh, these open fields keep callin' me home
