Powerlines

Under the powerlines
You pointed me three different ways
Said we're from smack dab in the middle
Of the mountains and the plains

It didn't matter
If dirt was gravel, black, or red
We grew up with golden gardens
And blue ribbon flowerbeds

It was all
Open fields and a lot of dumb love
It was all
Shooting stars and shooting guns

Under the powerlines
We drove your van into a ditch
We were Tokyo drifting on 295th

Stilwell, Kansas
Yeah, you knew just how to hit
The itch for driving out to nowhere
Riding shotgun through the sticks

And no one rich came out of Tulsa
Or smart from Tennessee
No one remembers folks from Kansas
I told you I'm from all three

And it was all
Open fields and a lot of dumb love
It was all
Shooting stars and shooting guns

It was all rose-colored memories and green-colored skies
Through the alcohol, we saw the rest of our lives
And it was all
Open fields and a lot of dumb love

Under the powerlines
Under the powerlines

Well, we were all fools and fortunate sons
With our neighborhood pools shooting off dad's guns
And growing up was fine, and now we know why
Our mamas worked hard for this American life

It was all
Open fields and a lot of dumb love
And it was all
Shooting stars and shooting guns

It was all rose-colored memories and green-colored skies
Through the alcohol, we saw the rest of our lives
And it was all
Open fields and a lot of dumb love

Under the powerlines
Under the powerlines
Under the powerlines
Under the powerlines
