about

Three years ago my family and I decided to slow down our life a bit and moved from the heart of San Diego to the backcountry of San Diego. We wanted to raise our daughter under starry skies, with land to roam around on, and with chickens and ducks and all kinds of wildlife. When you live in the city it's easy to forget that these beautiful life-giving spaces still exist. I'm so thankful I have the opportunity to live in the mountains. This song is my little love song to the dirt roads, sage and pine that are giving me life.

lyrics

VERSE ONE
Oh you little dirt roads, you're saving my soul
You're making me whole
Oh you little dirt roads, you're saving my soul
You're making me whole

CHORUS
I was made for the country life
For mountain time
For the small and the slow
I was made for this

VERSE TWO
Oh you clear open skies, you're giving me life
You're making me high
Oh you clear open skies, you're giving me life
You're making me high

CHORUS

VERSE THREE
Oh you sage and you pine, you're clearing my mind
You're giving me time
Oh you sage and you pine, you're clearing my mind
You're giving me time

CHORUS
