Sun-Warmed Gold

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty boots and faded blue jeans
I was only seventeen
Sweating under the Georgia sun
The harvest had just begun
Hauling crates to the wooden stand
Work calloused up my hand
I can still smell the fruit
Deep down in the root
[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows grew long and cold
But the fruit was bright as gold
I didn't know back then
I'd want to be there again
[Chorus]
Oh, that sun-warmed gold
Sweetest story ever told
Juice dripping down my chin
Take me back there again
It was a simple life
Before the worry and strife
Just the peaches and the breeze
Living life at my ease
[Post-Chorus]
It's sun-warmed gold
Honey in my soul
Yeah, it's sun-warmed gold
Making me feel whole
[Verse]
Pulled the truck off the main road
Carrying a heavy load
Of things I left behind
Inside my busy mind
The paint is peeling on the sign
But the fruit is still divine
I bought a basket for the ride
With a little bit of pride
[Pre-Chorus]
The memories start to bloom
In this quiet orchard room
I see the girl I was
Just because, just because
[Chorus]
Oh, that sun-warmed gold
Sweetest story ever told
Juice dripping down my chin
Take me back there again
It was a simple life
Before the worry and strife
Just the peaches and the breeze
Living life at my ease
[Bridge]
Time moves like a slow river
Makes my tired heart shiver
But the sweetness stays the same
Like a flicker in a flame
I am who I am today
'Cause I worked the summer away
[Hook]
Sweet peach summer
No other summer
Sweet peach summer
No other summer
[Chorus]
Oh, that sun-warmed gold
Sweetest story ever told
Juice dripping down my chin
Take me back there again
It was a simple life
Before the worry and strife
Just the peaches and the breeze
Living life at my ease
[Post-Chorus]
It's sun-warmed gold
Honey in my soul
Yeah, it's sun-warmed gold
Making me feel whole
[Outro]
