Acoustic/vocal demo

This is a reflective look back at the "good old days" camping with friends back in my 20s and 30s. Leave work behind and head out to the lake where we would park our campers in a big circle around a central campfire. Usually 7-8 couples/families. Enjoying one another's company and lake activities. We'd "circle the wagons" like the pioneers used to do when traveling for protection from the outside world. Good times for sure.

V1.
Never had much, but we had each other
Bunch of friends that became like brothers
Blowing off steam. From living the dream
Make a getaway to our Hideaway
Circle of love out at the lake
Pitch a tent or park your Airstream

Chorus
Circle the wagons
Campsite, bonfires, lawn chairs and solo cups
Good things happenin’
Late nights, music, laughter, yeah that was us
Campfire cookin’, memories and lovin’
Coolers, grills and old dutch ovens
Nah, I ain’t braggin’
Circle the wagons

V2.
It was everything, but no big deal
Came together to share our meals
In our compound. Escaping the lights of town
Jetskis and fishing poles
Unwind, Let the good times roll
Getting lost… and getting found

Chorus
Circle the wagons
Campsite, bonfires, lawn chairs and solo cups
Good things happenin’
Late nights, music, laughter, yeah that was us
Campfire cookin’, memories and lovin’
Coolers, grills and old dutch ovens
Nah, I ain’t braggin’
Circle the wagons

Bridge
When life gets out of control
There’s a few things the heal my soul

Chorus
Circle the wagons
Campsite, bonfires, lawn chairs and solo cups
Good things happenin’
Late nights, music, laughter, yeah that was us
Campfire cookin’, memories and lovin’
Coolers, grills and old dutch ovens
Nah, I ain’t braggin’
Circle the wagons
