Tennessee Sunrise

[Verse]
Streetlights hum a lonely tune on the Lewisburg square
Another shift is over, breathing in the evening air
Got calloused hands from honest work, a life of sweat and grace
But a different kind of blueprint's taking shape all over this place

[Chorus]
I'm building something new right here on this old piece of ground
Burning midnight oil while the rest of this small town
Is fast asleep and dreaming, I'm just trying to make it real
For my family's future, yeah, that's the only deal

[Verse]
They see a farmer's son, still living on the county line
Don't see the lines of code I write, the pixels and the design
They talk about the weather, and the price of corn and grain
I'm trying to catch lightning, trying to make it rain

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm building something new right here on this old piece of ground
Burning midnight oil while the rest of this small town
Is fast asleep and dreaming, I'm just trying to make it real
For my family's future, yeah, that's the only deal

[Bridge]
Some folks are born to leave, some are born to stay and fight
I'm just trying to build a world for them, shining ever so bright
Right here in the heart of it all, where my roots are running deep
A digital dream, a promise that I keep

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Watching that Tennessee sunrise crest the ridge
Yeah, this is more than just a living... it's the future that we build.
Right here... on this piece of ground.
