Porchlight And Pines
T
Tyler Hall
male vocals
country
brushed drums
close-mic and warm in verses
American country with mid-tempo two-step sway
acoustic strum
steel-guitar fills
and steady bass; verse rides small-town details
pre-chorus tightens with rising harmony and handclaps
chorus opens big with gang vocals on the hook. Male vocals
doubled on choruses with short delay throws. Ear candy: banjo pickup into sections
fiddle answer phrases
and a snare pickup before the final lift. Bright
punchy mix with dusty edges.

Letra
[Verse 1]
Old tin roof, red dirt lane
Mamma's screen door, summer rain
Porch swing creaks in the heat
Boot tracks parked by the seat
Coffee black in a cracked white mug
Old Ford coughs, then it huffs
On the fence line, flags blow high
Cut clean through a Texas sky
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know this ground
You know that sound
Good folks stand up
And don’t back down
[Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
[Verse 2]
Dollar store boots, Sunday best
Grandpa's watch under his vest
Ball game on and the screen door wide
Kids run wild in the July
Front-yard work and a supper plate
Faith and grit don't wait
If you come around with a crooked grin
Best mind the line you're standing in
[Pre-Chorus]
This land was built
On sweat and prayer
If you don't stand right
You won't stay there
[Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
[Bridge]
From the county road to the chapel bell
We know our own, we know 'em well
Say what you mean, stand where you stand
This is our home, this is our land
[Final Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
Old tin roof, red dirt lane
Mamma's screen door, summer rain
Porch swing creaks in the heat
Boot tracks parked by the seat
Coffee black in a cracked white mug
Old Ford coughs, then it huffs
On the fence line, flags blow high
Cut clean through a Texas sky
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know this ground
You know that sound
Good folks stand up
And don’t back down
[Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
[Verse 2]
Dollar store boots, Sunday best
Grandpa's watch under his vest
Ball game on and the screen door wide
Kids run wild in the July
Front-yard work and a supper plate
Faith and grit don't wait
If you come around with a crooked grin
Best mind the line you're standing in
[Pre-Chorus]
This land was built
On sweat and prayer
If you don't stand right
You won't stay there
[Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
[Bridge]
From the county road to the chapel bell
We know our own, we know 'em well
Say what you mean, stand where you stand
This is our home, this is our land
[Final Chorus]
American, we love Americana
Flags on the pole, you know we want ya
You can't live here
You can't live here
American, we love Americana
Hands on our hearts, we say it proper
You can't live here
You can't live here
