Country Songs About Sons: Parent-Son Relationships in Country Music

[Verse] Greg says don't work from home more than half of the time, Says it's bullsh*t, and he don't want to hear us whine. He likes to see our faces, bright under the office light, Says work from the office, where things just feel right. [Verse 2] The old coffee pot brews, its aroma in the air, Coworkers trading tales 'bout weekends here and there. Greg's got his reasons, says we know who cares, When we're together, there's a magic we all share. [Chorus] Work from the office, gather around each day, In cubicles and meeting rooms, that's where we'll play. Greg says there's a rhythm, a flow we need to keep, So pack your bags each morning, don't be falling asleep. [Verse 3] The hum of the printers, the click of the keys, Conversations drifting, like leaves in the breeze. E-mail chains are shorter with faces close by, Greg says cooperation is the reason why. [Bridge] Maybe he's old-fashioned, maybe it's his groove, But he believes in teamwork, it's how we improve. He wants the laughter, the chatter, and the cheer, Greg says in the office, things are crystal clear. [Verse 4] We'll climb that ladder rung by sturdy rung, In the place where friendships and partnerships are sung. Greg's doctrine echoes through the floors and the walls, Work from the office where inspiration calls.

*(Verse 1)* Well, John Wallace was his name, Worked hard atAmazon RME, playin’ the game. But one day he got that call on channel 4, “Pack it up, son, you ain't here at all.” Rumors swirling, they’re talkin’ real loud, Said I scared the office with my crazy crowd. Sent some texts that weren’t so nice, Now I’m sittin’ here, payin’ the price. *(Chorus)* JW in the DMs, that’s the story of my life, Scared his lady coworkers, cut like a knife. Lost his job, lost his pride, In a world of chaos, guess he can’t hide. Oh, he just wanted my wings, hot and fried, Now he singin’ the blues, nowhere to confide. *(Verse 2)* Remember those days, lunch he got them Chili's, Nashville hot wings, man, they gave him chills. The smell of that spice, sauce drippin’ down, Now it’s just memories in this empty mezzanine desk. Thought he was slick on the slack, just trying to fit it in, But the laughter turned to silence with just one click of sin. So I sat there, dancin’ my fingers on my phone, Now all he got is regret and this old DMs. *(Verse 2)* Remember those days, lunch he got them Chili's, Nashville hot wings, man, they gave him chills. The smell of that spice, sauce drippin’ down, Now it’s just memories in this empty mezzanine desk. Thought he was slick on the slack, just trying to fit it in, But the laughter turned to silence with just one click of sin. So I sat there, dancin’ my fingers on my phone, Now all I’ve got is regret and this old stone cold throne. *(Chorus)* JW in the DMs, that’s the story of his demise. Scared my coworkers, cut like a knife. Lost his job, lost his pride, In a world of chaos, guess he can’t hide. Oh, He just wanted my wings, hot and fried, with a side of some Fanny. Now he singin’ the blues, nowhere to confide. Guess I learned the hard way, don’t mess with the package flow, But I still crave those wings, oh how they used to glow. If you answer the DM all you read is. *(Outro)* So here I am, just me and my thoughts, With a side of heartbreak and a plate of what I bought. Gonna take these lessons, try to mend my ways, But I’ll always remember those chili-flavored days. John Wallace in the shadows, learning to breathe, Just a man who fell hard, trying to believe.

I thought we were friends, but they turned away, Now I’m just John, with no place to stay. Scrolling through memories, each DM a scar, What I thought was funny, now feels bizarre.

[Verse] Sunshine on your golden hair Your laughter fills the morning air Anyla you're my shining star You're the light that guides from afar [Verse 2] In your eyes a world of dreams Sparkles like the moonlight's gleam Every step you take with grace Anyla you light up this place [Chorus] Oh Anyla beautiful and bright You turn my dark days into light With your smile you heal my heart In this world we'll never be apart [Verse 3] Your voice is gentle like the breeze Brings my soul a perfect peace Anyla you're my sweetest song With you my love it is so strong [Verse 4] In a world that's full of gray You bring color every day Anyla you're my precious dove You're the heart of all my love [Bridge] Through the seasons as they change My love for you will stay the same Anyla you are my delight I'll protect you day and night

[Verse] In this small town where the river runs slow, She caught my eye, gave my heart a glow, Through the fields and down the old dirt road, By my side, more than gold. [Verse 2] We built a life, two hearts entwined, Every storm we faced, she was my lifeline, From sunrises to starry skies, With her love, I fly high. [Chorus] She's my ride or die, through fire and rain, By my side, in joy and pain, Don't know what I'd do without her, Always knew she's my forever. [Verse 3] Days turn to nights, and seasons change, But our love stays strong, never strange, Hand in hand, with no disguise, She's my truth, no lies. [Verse 4] When the world turns cold and shadows fall, Her warmth holds me, I stand tall, From the morning dew to twilight's sigh, She's the reason why. [Chorus] She's my ride or die, through fire and rain, By my side, in joy and pain, Don't know what I'd do without her, Always knew she's my forever.

[Verse 1] Met her down by the old creek, 'neath the Southern sky, With her smile so sweet, made my heart go shy. Her laughter's like a melody, lighting up the night, Found my forever right there in her eyes. [Verse 2] We'd drive those backroads, hand in hand, feeling free, Radio playing our song, just her and me. Through the good times and the bad, she's always close, A love like ours, that's what I cherish the most. [Chorus] She's my ride or die, always by my side, Don't know what I'd do without her, she's my guide. With her love, I never feel alone, I always knew I wanted her, she's my home. [Verse 3] Through the fields and the valleys, watched the seasons change, Every moment with her, nothing feels strange. She loves with all her heart, got a soul that’s pure, With her, I've got everything, I couldn't ask for more. [Verse 4] Summer nights on the porch, watching the stars fall, She whispers softly, "Forever I’ll be your all." In her arms, I find my peace, feel the world slow down, She's my queen, always wearing love's crown. [Chorus] She's my ride or die, always by my side, Don't know what I'd do without her, she's my guide. With her love, I never feel alone, I always knew I wanted her, she's my home.

[Verse] Somebody asked me what I wanted in life, Sittin' on the porch with my old pocketknife. Took a minute, gazed out at the sky, Gave ‘em a smile and a twinkle in my eye. [Verse 2] I want a good woman to stand by my side, Through the peaks and valleys, life's bumpy ride. Someone to share laughter, sunshine and rain, A soft, steady hand through joy and pain. [Chorus] Gimme that love, where the stars align, A partner for life, a bond that binds. We'll dance through the good times, hold on in the strife, Yeah, that's what I want in this journey called life. [Verse 3] When the crops are bountiful, or the harvest’s thin, She’ll be my anchor, my next of kin. We'll build a home with our dreams and might, Light up our days and warm our nights. [Verse 4] In a small-town chapel, with vows exchanged, She'll be my world while the seasons change. Holding her close 'neath the moon’s silver beam, Real love is my heart’s only true dream. [Chorus] Gimme that love, where the stars align, A partner for life, a bond that binds. We'll dance through the good times, hold on in the strife, Yeah, that's what I want in this journey called life.

[Verse] In the morning light, they rise and shine, One all smiles, the other, less inclined, One's a raging river, the other's a quiet stream, Two halves of a whole, living my dream. [Verse 2] Laura's the fire that burns so bright, Her laugh cuts through the cold, she lights up the night, Molly's the ice, cool and serene, With eyes that whisper peace, so calm and keen. [Chorus] My daughters are like fire and ice, One’s got the heat, the other's precise, Together they balance, yin and yang, In their sweet chaos, my heart sang. [Verse 3] Fire can be wild, burning untamed, She’s got passion that can’t be reined, Ice knows patience, slow and sure, With a silent strength that will endure. [Verse 4] When the dusk settles on our little home, Fire and ice find ways to roam, One dances in flames, the other in frost, Different paths, but both never lost. [Bridge] In them, I find my greatest prize, Lessons in love through their different eyes, Together they teach me the ways of life, In joy and trouble, in peace and strife.
