[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Walk outside the house before the sun is up
The ponies in town are sleeping but the apples are not
It's the beginning of another day
Can't spend another minute on the hay
Grab something to eat, then feed the pigs in their pen
The noise they make keeps me company when
I watch the moon make way in the sky
For the elder princess' celestial charge
[Pre-Chorus]
The freshness of the morning air remains with me
As I walk back to the orchard
Where today's work awaits
Among the apple trees
[Chorus]
Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways
[Verse 2]
While big brother works the fields with the old plow
Little sis and I help granny bake, and I'm thinking about
Racing through the woods last fall
A blur of rainbow colors clouding it all
Walk into town to meet my friends
We're having a party at the corner again
And I wouldn't miss it for the world, no
It's always magical when I'm with the girls
[Pre-Chorus]
The tranquility of the night
Descends upon me as I head back home
And I just can't hold back a smile
Not when I feel so fine
[Chorus]
Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
Bucking the days away with a smile upon my face
Keeping alive the family ways
[Instrumental outro]
