This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I was raised in the country, that's a natural fact
Food on the table from the garden out back
Everyone working to make the land their own
Red clay cracking where the silver queen grows
Running with your cousins from yard to yard
The living was easy but the playing was hard
Didn't have much, nothing comes for free
All you needed was your family
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't nothing quite like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
Biscuits in the morning and gravy too
Fried chicken in the afternoon
Jaw dragging, eating sweet potato pie
Taking half an hour to say goodbye
Blackberry patches, scuppernong vines
Sweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wine
The best kind of food is made by hand
The only place to get it is from the land
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't got nothing like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
All day, I dream about a place in the sun
Kinda like where I'm from
With the tall grass blowing in the breeze
Running barefoot 'round the tall oak trees
All day, I dream about a place I've been
A place where the skin I'm in
Feels like it's supposed to be
And anyone around who looks at me says
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't quite nothing like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I was born in the country, that's a natural fact
On these long city days, I want to look back
To see tobacco fields, a row after row
Red clay cracking where the silver queen grows
Food on the table from the garden out back
Everyone working to make the land their own
Red clay cracking where the silver queen grows
Running with your cousins from yard to yard
The living was easy but the playing was hard
Didn't have much, nothing comes for free
All you needed was your family
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't nothing quite like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
Biscuits in the morning and gravy too
Fried chicken in the afternoon
Jaw dragging, eating sweet potato pie
Taking half an hour to say goodbye
Blackberry patches, scuppernong vines
Sweet Georgia peaches and dandelion wine
The best kind of food is made by hand
The only place to get it is from the land
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't got nothing like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
All day, I dream about a place in the sun
Kinda like where I'm from
With the tall grass blowing in the breeze
Running barefoot 'round the tall oak trees
All day, I dream about a place I've been
A place where the skin I'm in
Feels like it's supposed to be
And anyone around who looks at me says
I am a country girl
I've been around the world
And every place I've been
Ain't quite nothing like
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I am a country girl
I am a country girl
Living in the south
Oh honey shut your mouth
I was born in the country, that's a natural fact
On these long city days, I want to look back
To see tobacco fields, a row after row
Red clay cracking where the silver queen grows

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
