[Verse 1]
I’ve lost sunsets
Worrying ’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
Learning how to make the most of this whole ride
Ain’t figured it all out but, Lord, I’m trying

[Chorus]
Keep tomatoes coming up in the garden
Keep barefeet running in the dirt
Keep picking them roadside flowers
Leave ’em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog laying on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowing in from the West
Little less keeping up with the Jones’
A little more holding onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we’re keeping the world away

[Verse 2]
Sipping 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

[Chorus]
Keep tomatoes coming up in the garden
Keep barefeet running in the dirt

Keep picking them roadside flowers
Leave ’em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog laying on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowing in from the West
Little less keeping up with the Jones’
A little more holding onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we’re keeping the world away
(When we’re keeping the world away)

[Bridge]
We got all we need inside these walls
So, we ain’t picking up even if it calls, we’ll just

[Chorus]
Keep tomatoes coming up in the garden
Keep barefeet running in the dirt
Keep picking them roadside flowers
Leave ’em in the windowsill just for her
Keep a good dog laying on the front porch
And the Good Book by the bed
Keep a boat tied up to the dock
When the wind starts blowing in from the West
Little less keeping up with the Jones’
A little more holding onto my own
If you ask me, yeah, we sure got it made
When we’re keeping the world away
(When we’re keeping the world away)
