In a field somewhere, barely more than a kid
In his '86 red Chevy, Daddy taught me how to shift
I was cuttin' figure eights on four Good years and a prayer
Was king of the road in a field somewhere
In a field somewhere, we did some things we never told
We were crackin' our first beer and chokin' on our first smoke
And we jumped in the crick in nothing but our underwear
We grew up in a field somewhere
It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes
Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights
With a buzz in my head and fireflies in the air
Life is good in a field somewhere
In a field somewhere, that hometown boy and me
Slow-danced between the corn rows 'til he dropped down on one knee
And we both laughed out loud, so excited, a little scared
Said yes to forever in a field somewhere
It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes
Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights
With a cold one in my hand, kicked back in a lawn chair
Life is good in a field somewhere
♪
In a field somewhere, where the suns shines out gold
Let my soul untether where the wild green grasses grow
And my time runs out, don't just put me anywhere
Lay me down in a field somewhere
It's where I learned my lessons, it's where I earned my stripes
Got a full-ride education underneath them half-moon nights
With a buzz in my head and fireflies in the air
Life is good in a field somewhere
Yeah, life is good in a field somewhere
