Blue Lakes & a Battered Hat

Verse 1

Sun comes up over the glassy shore

An old Ford idling by the feed store door

Dust on the boots, red dirt on the tires

Black coffee by the morning fires

Circle on the map might look real small

But to me, man, it's got it all

Chorus

'Cause I got blue lakes winding through the trees

A little frostproof chill in the evening breeze

Settled way back in a small town frame

Where everybody knows your middle name

Just give me this life, right where I'm at

With some hog dog diggity dogs and a battered hat

Yeah, hog dog diggity dogs and a simple view

That's all I'll ever need to pull me through

Verse 2

Engine roaring down a two-lane road

Towing that boat with a heavy load

Cast a line out when the twilight hits

No city lights, just the stars and crickets

People talk about the bright line lights

I'll take a campfire on a Friday night

Chorus

'Cause I got blue lakes winding through the trees

A little frostproof chill in the evening breeze

Settled way back in a small town frame

Where everybody knows your middle name

Just give me this life, right where I'm at

With some hog dog diggity dogs and a battered hat

Yeah, hog dog diggity dogs and a simple view

That's all I'll ever need to pull me through

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Some folks chase gold, some chase the sky

I just wanna watch the summer go by

With good dirt under my feet

And the only kind of freedom that tastes real sweet

Chorus

'Cause I got blue lakes winding through the trees

A little frostproof chill in the evening breeze

Settled way back in a small town frame

Where everybody knows your middle name

Just give me this life, right where I'm at

With some hog dog diggity dogs and a battered hat

Yeah, hog dog diggity dogs and a simple view

That's all I'll ever need in life, it's true

Outro

Yeah, small town life

Just them lakes and a cool night breeze

Hog dog diggity dogs, that's all I'll ever need
