Create Neo-Traditional Country male vocal lyrics about a retired forest ranger who runs a tiny rural fire tower lookout, convinced the mysterious blinking lights he spots each autumn are 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps workers time-slipping to check on the forest they planted, weaving in dry, warm humor about leaving out jars of pickles and old tobacco tins for the time-lost visitors. Music parameters: 92 BPM mid-tempo two-step, D Mixolydian mode, core instrumentation: fingerpicked 1950s Martin acoustic guitar, wailing honky-tonk steel guitar, Scruggs-style banjo, walking upright bass, occasional spoons percussion. Emotion: stoical, whimsical joy, soft earnest sentimentality, no manufactured twang, vocal delivery rough around the edges but gentle. Follow verse-chorus-verse-chorus-steel/fiddle dual solo-verse-chorus-fading sunset outro structure.

[Intro]
[Verse]
Iron stairs cut the cold air
Leaves are dancing everywhere
Eighty feet above the ground
Only peace that I have found
Then I see the amber glow
Moving in the brush below
Flashlights from a long ago
[Chorus]
It’s the boys from the CCC
Checking on each sapling tree
Shovels hitting rocky clay
Working for a dollar’s pay
They built this green cathedral wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the D-chord morning light
They’re making everything alright
[Verse]
I leave a jar of salty dills
Up among these rolling hills
Old tobacco in a tin
Where the mountain air gets thin
They must get hungry on the shift
Falling through a temporal rift
By dawn the jar is licked quite clean
Funniest thing I’ve ever seen
[Chorus]
It’s the boys from the CCC
Checking on each sapling tree
Shovels hitting rocky clay
Working for a dollar’s pay
They built this green cathedral wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the D-chord morning light
They’re making everything alright
[Solo]
[Verse]
These white pines are sixty feet
Making the old work complete
I watch 'em lean upon their spades
Flickering in the forest glades
They don't know the world has changed
Or how the stars have rearranged
They just love the wood they made
Resting in the heavy shade
[Chorus]
It’s the boys from the CCC
Checking on each sapling tree
Shovels hitting rocky clay
Working for a dollar’s pay
They built this green cathedral wall
Standing proud and standing tall
In the D-chord morning light
They’re making everything alright
[Outro]
