Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The city’s gone, just dust behind,
Pine trees wave in the evening wind.
Lake so still, it holds the sky,
Like a dream I’ve never known.
Crickets sing where the fireflies glow,
And the stars come out to play.
No neon lights, no rush, no show —
Just the silence of the day.
[Chorus]
Oh, far from town, where the wild things grow,
And the night’s alive with a soft guitar glow.
Whippoorwills call, the pines all sigh —
This is where my heart learns how to fly.
Under the swirl of the Milky Way,
I’m small, but I’m home, I’m okay.
Yeah, far from town, I finally found
The peace I’ve been chasing all around.
[Verse 2]
Mornings come on a misty tune,
Coffee steam and a wooden chair.
Deer step out by the rising moon,
Like they’ve been waiting there.
No alarms, no boss, no phone,
Just the wind and the loon’s sad cry.
I’m not lost — I’ve found my own
Kind of lullaby.
[Chorus]
Oh, far from town, where the wild things grow,
And the night’s alive with a soft guitar glow.
Whippoorwills call, the pines all sigh —
This is where my heart learns how to fly.
Under the swirl of the Milky Way,
I’m small, but I’m home, I’m okay.
Yeah, far from town, I finally found
The peace I’ve been chasing all around.
[Bridge]
Mama said, "Child, you’ll run too far,"
But she don’t know what silence is.
It ain’t empty — it’s a healing scar,
A place where the soul can breathe.
And if I stay, or if I go,
These woods will always know —
I came here not to hide, but to be
Exactly who I am, finally free.
[Finale – quieter, almost in a whisper]
Far from town…
But close to everything.
