In A Field Somewhere

In a field somewhere, barely more than a kid In his '86 red Chevy, Daddy taught me how to shift I was cuttin' figure eights on four Good years and a prayer Was king of the road in a field somewhere In a field somewhere, we did some things we never told We were crackin' our first beer and chokin' on our first smoke And we jumped in the crick in nothing but our underwear We grew up in a field somewhere It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights With a buzz in my head and fireflies in the air Life is good in a field somewhere In a field somewhere, that hometown boy and me Slow-danced between the corn rows 'til he dropped down on one knee And we both laughed out loud, so excited, a little scared Said yes to forever in a field somewhere It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights With a cold one in my hand, kicked back in a lawn chair Life is good in a field somewhere In a field somewhere, where the suns shines out gold Let my soul untether where the wild green grasses grow And my time runs out, don't just put me anywhere Lay me down in a field somewhere It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights With a buzz in my head and fireflies in the air Life is good in a field somewhere Yeah, life is good in a field somewhere
