Smoky Horizon
Verse 1 Em C Under a smoky horizon, where the sun's last sighs, G D We play our hearts out, beneath the Texas skies. Em C Music flowing like whiskey, sweet and strong, G D Here amidst the heat, we find our song. Chorus Em C Smoky Horizon, you're our muse, G D In your fiery glow, we stand and fuse. Em C Your red and gold, your passion intense, G D Under your watch, we find our sense. Verse 2 Em C Riff of the guitar, thrum of the bass, G D In this sweltering heat, our hearts race. Em C A harmony born of sun and flame, G D In Ripe Heat's name, we stake our claim. Chorus Em C Smoky Horizon, you're our inspiration, G D In your fiery glow, we find our dedication. Em C Your crimson light, your heat so wild, G D Under your watch, we are your child.
