Maria's Life

**Instrumental Intro** **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, wide open skies, Nothin' but time, chasin' the sunrise, In the heartland, where the green fields lie, Findin' my peace, under the blue MidWest sky. **Verse 1:** Out here where the corn whispers secrets, My boots kick up dust where the earth's deepest, Lonely roads, but my heart's in a festive, This prairie life, it's just so majestic. **Verse 2:** Sun's settin' low, cattle hummin' low, Rockin' on the porch, I watch the river's flow, The wind's my friend, it's got stories to bestow, In the simple life, that's all I need to know. **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, with the stars so bright, Dancin' with shadows in the pale moonlight, It's a solo dance, but it feels just right, In the silence, my soul takes flight. **Verse 3:** Mornin' dew on the old oak tree, Chickens cluckin', settin' their spirits free, This land's my kin, it's part of me, In this solitude, I find my glee. **Verse 4:** Harvest moon, guide my dreams, Through winter's chill and summer's beams, Life's simple here, or so it seems, In the quiet, I weave my themes. **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a lonesome song, But in this vastness, I belong, With every acre, my heart grows strong, This farm's my love, it's where I throng. **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a tale untold, Of open fields and a heart so bold, In the MidWest's arms, I'll grow old, With my lands and beasts, my story's scrolled. **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a quiet bliss, In every chore, there's a moment not to miss, With the earth's embrace, and the sun's sweet kiss, It's a life of joy, it's pure happiness. **Instrumental Outro** **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a lonesome song, But in this vastness, I belong, With every acre, my heart grows strong, This farm's my love, it's where I throng. **Riff** **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a tale untold, Of open fields and a heart so bold, In the MidWest's arms, I'll grow old, With my lands and beasts, my story's scrolled. **Chorus:** (Oh) Maria's life, it's a quiet bliss, In every chore, there's a moment not to miss, With the earth's embrace, and the sun's sweet kiss, It's a life of joy, it's pure happiness. **Instrumental Outpro**
