Acres

Red hot nights on a Queensland run

Gonna check my brakes, gonna grab my gun

I’m a cowboy, Mama, got dirt on these hands

I’m an unholy man raised on holy land

One hundred acres just west of the rock

Got a dam out the back, might not seem like a lot

But it’s home to me and it’s home to the lady I love

And we’ve got a dog

I’ve been chasing these acres since eighteen years old

Now those acres are mine and they’re calling me home

I’m out on the road almost four nights a week

And as soon as I’m home, it’s just cold beer and sleep

I love the crowds and I love the boys in my band

But I also love these acres and dirt on this land

I’ve worked hard for all that we’ve gained

Not the prettiest dirt but it’s signed in our names

We fall in love more and more each day

We’ve got it made

I’ve been chasing these acres since eighteen years old

Now those acres are mine and they’re calling me home

I’m out on the road almost four nights a week

And as soon as I’m home, it’s just cold beer and weed

I love the crowds and I love the boys in my band

But I also love these acres and dirt on this land

I grew up in town but that’s not what I need

I need mountains and cows and more mouths to feed

Some tiny boots on the ground

And a daughter named Annalise

I’ve been chasing these acres since eighteen years old

Now those acres are mine and they’re calling me home

I’m out on the road almost four nights a week

And as soon as I’m home, it’s just cold beer and sleep

I love the crowds and I love the boys in my band

But I also love these acres

All the miles and the spaces

And damn, I love these acres and dirt on this land
