Bright Sunny South
Alison Krauss & Union Station
3:01[Verse] Out where the highway turns to dust, And the fields are green and wide, We sit and watch the twilight fade, Underneath the southern skies. [Verse 2] Grandpa's stories 'round the fire, Of love and loss and days gone by, The crackle of the burning wood, Echoes his gentle sigh. [Chorus] Whiskey and wildflowers, By the light of a harvest moon, We'll dance away the hours, And sing an old love tune. [Verse 3] Mama's roses bloom each spring, In the garden by the shed, She says they were a gift from Dad, Before he left and wed. [Verse 4] Summer nights with fireflies, And a simple serenade, Old guitar strummed soft and low, In the sweet and shadowed glade. [Chorus] Whiskey and wildflowers, By the light of a harvest moon, We'll dance away the hours, And sing an old love tune.
