Down past the birch tree near the rusty old truck
I jumped right in the lake and swam out to the rock
There sure aint nothing new that I'm looking for
Living here with Julia who could ask for more
When the sun begins to set I fish until dark
Then Johnny lights the biggest fire with the tinniest spark
I have to stay awake so I won't miss
The chance that Julia might give me a tender kiss
They all expect me to leave someday but where would I go
I don't like the snow up north its too hot in Mexico
I could never go away I wouldn't last a day
I'm feeling fine right here Julia I'm gonna stay
Each day I get up early and lie there wide awake
I work the field all day earn whatever I can make
Julia waits for me when the long day ends
And in the early morning I get up and do it all again
I go into town every once in a while
I prefer the simple life the city aint my style
There's a much bigger world but I don't care
There aint no better place for me and Julia than right here
They all expect me to leave someday but where would I go
I don't like the snow up north its too hot in Mexico
I could never go away I wouldn't last a day
I'm feeling fine right here Julia I'm gonna stay

Cool, low tempo song here, Scott. I'll be seeing you soon with my new FAWM gems and looking forward to hearing this and your other songs.

I've never been in the southwest, but you painted me right into that beautiful landscape. This is a keeper.

Mmm what a good vibe and feel to this right from the start. A content and fulfilled man, Sometimes I wish I....never mind!. Altogether a feel good song.
