Those Days Under a Southern Haze
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart
©COPYRIGHT 8–25-25 All Rights Reserved ©
Verse 1: Summer heat was rising from the Georgia clay, Mama's sweet tea sweating on the porch all day, Granddaddy's old stories 'bout the way things used to be, Those days under a southern haze still live in me. Fireflies were dancing in the evening light, Everything was simple, everything was right.
Chorus: Those days under a southern haze, When time moved slow and love would stay, Barefoot children, front porch swings, Simple life and simple things, Those days under a southern haze, I miss those golden summer days.
Verse 2: Cotton fields were stretching far as eyes could see, Church bells ringing Sunday morning harmony, Fishing down at Miller's pond with cane pole in my hand, Those days under a southern haze in Dixieland. Mama's cornbread cooling on the window sill, Lord, I can taste it still.
Chorus: Those days under a southern haze, When time moved slow and love would stay, Barefoot children, front porch swings, Simple life and simple things, Those days under a southern haze, I miss those golden summer days.
Bridge: Now the world keeps spinning faster every year, But I close my eyes and I can still hear, Granddaddy's laugh and Mama's lullaby, Underneath that southern sky.
Final Chorus: Those days under a southern haze, When time moved slow and love would stay, Barefoot children, front porch swings, Simple life and simple things, Those days under a southern haze, I miss those golden summer days.
Outro: Yeah, those days under a southern haze, Take me back to those summer days, Under a southern haze, Those sweet summer days.

It's Been A While
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart
©COPYRIGHT 8–25-25 All Rights Reserved ©
Verse 1: Pulled into my hometown on a dusty summer day, Tour bus rolling down Main Street where I used to play, Stopped at Miller's Country Store, same as it's always been, Miss Mae behind the counter with that knowing grin. She said, "Well I'll be damned, look who's come back around, I heard you made it big up in Nashville town."
Chorus: It's been a while since I've been home, It's been a while since I've been known, As just the kid from down the road, Not the man with platinum gold, It's been a while, Miss Mae, Since I've been this way.
Verse 2: She asked about my mama, said she's doing fine, Asked about my daddy and his old moonshine, "What about that Sarah girl you used to love so dear?" I just smiled and shook my head, "She ain't been around here." Miss Mae nodded knowingly, said "Dreams come with a price, Sometimes you gotta roll the dice."
Chorus: It's been a while since I've been home, It's been a while since I've been known, As just the kid from down the road, Not the man with platinum gold, It's been a while, Miss Mae, Since I've been this way.
Bridge: She rang up my RC Cola and a pack of gum, Said "I'm proud of what you've become, But don't forget where you came from, This old town's still here when you're done."
Final Chorus: It's been a while since I've been home, It's been a while since I've been known, As just the kid from down the road, Not the man with platinum gold, It's been a while, Miss Mae, Since I've been this way.
Outro: Walked out that screen door, heard it slam behind, Climbed back on that tour bus, left my past behind, But Miss Mae's words keep ringing in my mind, "It's been a while, son, it's been a while."

So Easy
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart
©COPYRIGHT 8–24-25 All Rights Reserved ©
Verse 1 It used to be so easy waking up each day, Knowing you'd be lying there beside me, It used to be so easy finding words to say, When your love was there to guide me. Now I'm stumbling through the morning, Coffee tastes like tears, It used to be so easy before you disappeared.
Chorus It used to be so easy loving you, So easy making dreams come true, So easy when you held me tight, Everything just felt so right, Now I'm learning the hard way, Nothing's easy when you're gone away, It used to be so easy loving you.
Verse 2 It used to be so easy driving down this road, Every mile was an adventure, It used to be so easy carrying life's load, When you were my co-venture. Now these highways feel like prison walls, And home don't feel like home, It used to be so easy before I was alone.
Chorus It used to be so easy loving you, So easy making dreams come true, So easy when you held me tight, Everything just felt so right, Now I'm learning the hard way, Nothing's easy when you're gone away, It used to be so easy loving you.
Bridge Simple things like breathing, sleeping through the night, Laughing at the movies, everything was light, Now I'm second-guessing every step I take, Wondering how much more my heart can break.
Final Chorus It used to be so easy loving you, So easy making dreams come true, So easy when you held me tight, Everything just felt so right, Now I'm learning the hard way, Nothing's easy when you're gone away, It used to be so easy, Lord, it used to be so easy, Loving you.
Outro It used to be so easy,
Just holding your hand,
So easy, it used to be so easy,
Now I don't understand,
How something so simple,
Could slip away,
It used to be so easy,
Every single day,
Loving you,
It was so easy,
So easy………..
