Lyrics
Intro
upbeat acoustic guitar
Verse 1
Smooth flat stone in the morning lightCreek runs clear with a gentle flowArm swings out in a practiced flightWatch it bounce where the ripples grow
Chorus
Skipping stones on the open creekSimple joy in the quiet dayCowboy peace that the heart can keepCounting hops as they fade away
Verse 2
Another toss with a careful aimStone kisses water in a bright clean arcRipples spread in a widening frameSoft success on the sunlit mark
Chorus
Skipping stones on the open creekSimple joy in the quiet dayCowboy peace that the heart can keepCounting hops as they fade away
Verse 3
Pocket empty as the feeling staysCreek still moving in the easy lightSkipping stones marked in these range-born daysPart of the joy that feels just right
Chorus
Skipping stones on the open creekSimple joy in the quiet dayCowboy peace that the heart can keepCounting hops as they fade away
Bridge
When the days feel ordinary and the view runs plainSkipping stones keep the joy the sameStanding quiet where the light first came
Outro
fading acoustic guitar
