Keepin’ Country Alive Lyrics by Dillon Carmichael

2025

[Verse 1]
\nI sipped water from a hose
\nPut pennies on a track
\nCaught lightning bugs in a mason jar
\nHad a rock for a ball and a stick for a bat
\nI was chipper jones in that backyard
\nFast as number three
\nI turned sixteen
\nThat first pinch of dip turned me Copenhagen green
\nGo to any map dot you'll see
\nThere's a whole lot more growing up like me
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHere's to the ones keeping ole Merle spinning
\nMidnight, first time, corn row kissing
\nNew coat of water tower spray painted names
\nNew crop of crop growers praying for rain
\nFrom Saturday bonfires to Sunday pews
\nFilling in all them hand me down boots
\nMaking sure that the roots in them towns don't die
\nHеre's to the boys and the girls
\nKeepin' country alivе
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nIn a town somewhere
\nTalking way out there
\nThere's a boy waking up
\nMowin' that grass
\nTurning green into gas
\nSo he can go pick her up
\nThere's a girl on the porch and he gets to the door
\nHer daddy strikes the fear of god in that boy
\nMama says, "honey, they're just kids
\nGrowing up just like we did"
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHere's to the ones keeping ole Merle spinning
\nMidnight, first time, corn row kissing
\nNew coat of water tower spray painted names
\nNew crop of crop growers praying for rain
\nFrom Saturday bonfires to Sunday pews
\nFilling in all them hand me down boots
\nMaking sure that the roots in them towns don't die
\nHere's to the boys and the girls
\nKeepin' country alive
\n
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHere's to the ones keeping ole Merle spinning
\nMidnight first time corn row kissing
\nNew coat of water tower spray painted names
\nNew crop of crop growers praying for rain
\nFrom Saturday bonfires to Sunday pews
\nFilling in all them hand me down boots
\nMaking sure that the roots in them towns don't die
\nHere's to the boys and the girls
\nKeepin' country alive
\n
\n[Outro]
\nYeah raise 'em up high
\nTo the boys and the girls
\nKeepin' country alive\n\n
