Singing Campfire Songs

Verse 1

Boots in the dirt by the dying light

Smoke curls up where the cedar burns bright

Told a story 'bout my daddy's truck

Half of it made up but nobody gives up

Sat on a log with the whole crowd near

Somebody hummed and we all could hear

Pre-Chorus

Then somebody struck a chord

And the whole night leaned in toward

Chorus

Singing campfire songs

Every word we got wrong

Til the fire dropped low and the crickets joined along

We sang 'bout gone highways and hold on tight

And every voice carried deeper in the night

Verse 2

Passed a guitar round and a jar of shine

Strung an old tune that we made up line by line

One girl cried on a love she lost

We turned it round till the chorus cost

Her the tears and she laughed instead

Harmony laced through the smoke overhead

Pre-Chorus

When the last lantern glowed

That old melody just flowed

Chorus

Singing campfire songs

Every word we got wrong

Til the fire dropped low and the crickets joined along

We sang 'bout gone highways and hold on tight

And every voice carried deeper in the night

Bridge

Somebody's cell phone died on the hill

Nobody minded the silent still

Just a banjo ring and a fiddle's sway

We lost the time but we found the day

Chorus

Singing campfire songs

Every word we got wrong

Til the embers turned gray and the sky turned soft and long

We sang 'bout gone highways and hold on tight

And every voice carried deeper in the night

Outro

Singing campfire songs

Singing campfire songs

Mm

Mm-hmm
