Give Me Tall Pine Trees

Intro
(Slow acoustic guitar strumming, cryin' pedal steel fill, gentle snare brushes)
​[Verse 1]
Pines stand tall against an East Texas sky
Coffee on the porch as the sun gets high
Pine needles crunkling underneath my boots
Nothing like the feeling of sticking to your roots
Got a rusted ol' Squarebody sitting in the drive
Mornings like this make you feel alive.
​[Chorus]
Give me tall pine trees and a slow-pacing day
Cold glass of sweet tea to wash the heat away
Porch swing creaking to a country song
Where the good times linger and the dirt roads long
No city lights, no rush hour drive
Just living easy, feeling real alive.
​[Verse 2]
Got a line in the pond where the bluegill hide
Sweet gum shade on the creek bank side
Neighbours give a wave when they pass the gate
Nobody around here in a rush to be late
Just a porch, a guitar, and a simple view
Doing what a piney woods boy's meant to do.
​[Chorus]
Give me tall pine trees and a slow-pacing day
Cold glass of sweet tea to wash the heat away
Porch swing creaking to a country song
Where the good times linger and the dirt roads long
No city lights, no rush hour drive
Just living easy, feeling real alive.
​[Bridge]
(Pedal steel solo taking the lead, laid-back twang)
When the fireflies light up the evening air
You realize you got everything right there.
​[Chorus]
Give me tall pine trees and a slow-pacing day
Cold glass of sweet tea to wash the heat away
Porch swing creaking to a country song
Where the good times linger and the dirt roads long
No city lights, no rush hour drive
Just living easy, feeling real alive.
​[Outro]
Yeah, feeling real alive in the East Texas pines...
(Fade out with soft acoustic strum and pedal steel bend)
