[Verse 1]
Finding peace in a small town is like watching a doe at sundown
Patiently waiting gently for a moment’s surprise
These golden hills in winter ain’t no perfect photo filter
But their hues do shine like summer’s dying wishes

[Verse 2]
And there ain’t no use in whispering like secrets we keep from our neighbors
All the wounds beneath our hides are plain to see
I never yearned for the hurtin’ of the letting go of pеrsons
Places, and things that make the streets seem a humblе abode

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a slow burn, I can see the leaves have turned

[Chorus]
Let me work when I’m hungry, let me eat when I’m lazy
Let me choose the ways I want to be remembered

[Verse 3]
Both you and I know now, there’s darkness that lurks in this town, that’ll make a poor boy shake and the cows come home
I’ll employ my senses to find some deep reflections
To honor the ones that made me who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a slow burn, I can see the leaves have turned
[Chorus]
Let me work when I’m hungry, let me eat when I’m lazy
Let me choose the ways I want to be remembered

Let me work when I’m hungry, let me eat when I’m lazy
Let me choose the ways I want to be remembered
