Backstory:

Benny Thomas left Nebraska for Los Angeles chasing a musician’s dream. Things took off fast—almost too fast—and the wild pace eventually wore thin. In 2024 he headed to Nashville, where he found the life he really wanted playing the Broadway stages. His girlfriend followed, they got engaged, and—like a country song—they slowed down, bought a home in Hendersonville, and now enjoy a quieter life of songwriting and truly living the dream

a mid-tempo anthem about trading the fast lane for the simple things that feel like home. The song moves through cold beers, campfires, smoky bar stages, and the leap of packing up and heading to Tennessee. Blending heartfelt nostalgia with the chase for something bigger, it celebrates love, small-town living, and the courage to follow your dreams. With vivid scenes from Colorado to California to Nebraska and finally Nashville, it’s a story of slowing down, starting fresh, and finding where you truly belong — because at the end of the day, it all sounds like a country song.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Sounds like a country song

Verse 1]
It's a song about living
It's a song about a beer on a Friday night
It's a song about fishing
A song about buds 'round the old campfire
It's a song about firewood burning, crickets chirping all in the breeze
Sounds like a country song to me

[Verse 2]
It's a song about playing
In this same old smoky bar
It's a song about singing
Like nobody here knows who you are
It's a song about packing all your stuff and moving to Tennessee
Sounds like a country song to me

[Chorus]
It's a song about love
If you mean it to be
trading those city lights for guitar strings
When you've had enough and figured it's time to start chasing some dreams
It's the only kind of song you'll wanna sing
Sounds like a country song to me

[Verse 3]
It's like baby don't worry
We can slow it down and       still make it on time
We don't have to hurry
Like we've been doing for most of our lives
Trading that  rush hour traffic in for a front porch swing
Yeah, sounds like a country song to me

[Chorus]
It's a song about love
And I need it to be
It’s a song playing over and over 
But you still put it on repeat  
I've had enough of this grind, I'm gonna start chasing my dreams, I'm gonna start chasing my dreams
It's the only kind of song I got to sing
Sounds like a country song to me

[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh)
Smell that breeze
(Ooh-ooh)
Heard a new high
Like I've never seen
Wherever you're going, wherever you've been
What you've seen
Colorado, California, back to Nebraska, New York, now in Tennessee
Starting to feel like home to me

[Verse 4]
It's a song about life
If you want it to be
A simple life and a country road, that’s all I need,
When you've had enough of this grind and finally start chasing some dreams
It's the only kind of song you'll sing
Sounds like a country song to me
