[Instrumental Intro: Twangy Guitar, Fiddle, Banjo Rolls, Boot-Stomp Beat]<\/p>\n
[Intro, Acapella Harmony Vocals]
\nMusta died\u2026
\nOr maybe just livin\u2019 right\u2026
\n(Shine on – the light)
\nShine on and on (Delight)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nSun came up on a gravel road
\nCoffee strong in a chipped-up bowl
\nScreen door slam and a rooster crow
\nSame old rhythm we always know<\/p>\n
But today there\u2019s a sweeter air
\nSomething lighter everywhere
\nLike the world just slowed its spin
\nAnd let a little heaven in<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nLaughter drifting through the trees
\nBiscuits baking, summer breeze
\nEvery worry left behind
\nPeace you don\u2019t have to find<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nEyes pied
\n(From before seven)<\/p>\n
Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nDusted, fried
\n(Before eleven)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental Break: Fiddle Lead, Banjo Picking]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nFront porch swing and a mason jar
\nPickup parked by the old tin barn
\nNeighbors waving as they pass by
\nNo one\u2019s in too much of a try<\/p>\n
Radio plays a country tune
\nUnderneath that afternoon
\nTime just melts into the day
\nNothing pulling you away<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nEvery smile, every call
\nFeels like you belong to it all
\nSimple things that make it right
\nMorning into night<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nSweet tea poured
\n(Cold by eleven)<\/p>\n
Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nLaughing loud
\n(Like forever seven)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nAin\u2019t no rush, ain\u2019t no race
\nJust a slow and steady place
\nWhere the sky feels close enough
\nAnd living easy is enough<\/p>\n
[Breakdown: Handclaps, Foot Stomps]
\nHey! Hey!
\nLet it roll, let it stay
\nHey! Hey!
\nNever gonna fade away
\n(Not fade away, away… away….)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nMusta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nSunset gold
\n(Past half-past seven)<\/p>\n
Musta died
\n(And gone to heaven)
\nHearts wide
\n(Open and given)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Fiddle fades, soft guitar strum]<\/p>\n
Musta died\u2026
\nOr maybe just livin\u2019 right\u2026
\n(Shine on – the light)
\nShine on and on (Delight)<\/p>\n
