Keeping the World Away

I've lost sunsets
Worryin' 'bout tomorrow
And I've read headlines
That stole my peace of mind
And I've got sideways
Off the straight and narrow
And thought more money
Would help me sleep at night
Learnin' how to make the most of this whole ride
Ain't figured it all out but, Lord, I'm tryin'

Keep tomatoes comin' up in the garden
Keep barefeet runnin' in the dirt
Keep pickin' them roadside flowers
Leave 'em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog layin' on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowin' in from the West
Little less keepin' up with the Jones'
A little more holdin' onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we're keepin' the world away

Sippin' good whiskey
Underneath the stars
Is a good reminder
That Heaven ain't that far
Bedtime prayers and a forehead kiss goodnight
Thank Him for the little things in life and we'll just

Keep tomatoes comin' up in the garden
Keep barefeet runnin' in the dirt
Keep pickin' them roadside flowers
Leave 'em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog layin' on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowin' in from the West
Little less keepin' up with the Jones'
A little more holdin' onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we're keepin' the world away
(When we're keepin' the world away)

We got all we need inside these walls
So, we ain't pickin' up even if it calls, we'll just

Keep tomatoes comin' up in the garden
Keep barefeet runnin' in the dirt
Keep pickin' them roadside flowers
Leave 'em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog layin' on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowin' in from the West
Little less keepin' up with the Jones'
A little more holdin' onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we're keepin' the world away
(When we're keepin' the world away)
