Young and Country

A Country Music song celebrating growing up in the country and remembering those golden days when we are older. Young and Country copyright 2026 Morgan St. James and Windlass Productions Verse 1 Walkin' home beneath a summer sky, Dandelions dancing as the clouds roll by. Chicory bloomin' by the old dirt road, No place in this world I'd rather call home. Penny candy from the country store, Splashin' through puddles after every storm. Life was measured by the setting sun, Every little day was another day of fun. Chorus Don't ever wanna leave this place, These winding roads I know. Where the fields roll on forever And the wildflowers grow. Don't ever wanna leave these times, They're written in my soul. Just bein' young and country, Was everything I’d known. Those simple days still call to me, No matter where I go. Verse 2 Fishin' down the creek with an old cane pole Campfire beans in an old black tin. Chasin' lightnin' bugs till the stars took flight, Dreamin' bigger dreams in the July night. Pickup rides, wind across our face, Every dusty road led to our favorite place. Bonfires burn on a cool October night, Laughin' with our friends neath the harvest moonlight. Bridge First sweet kiss behind the old red barn, Holdin' hands where nobody would see, Sittin by the pond where the moon hung bright, Talkin' to the bullfrogs deep into the night. Thought those days would never end, Thought we'd always stay, Young enough to believe forever Was just another day. Final Chorus Don't ever wanna leave this place, Though life has carried me on. These fields still live inside my heart, Though many years are come and gone. Don't ever wanna leave these times, They're treasures I still keep. Bein' young and country, Runs forever through me deep. Outro If heaven feels like home at all, I know just what I'll see— A dirt road, a summer sunset... And that young country girl in me.
