Lyrics

[Verse]
Zack Wilder's a country boy, deep in Tennessee,
He loves hunting deer at dawn, fishing by the stream,
Plays a round of golf and a cold beer in the June sun,
He's living life so simple, he's having so much fun.

[Verse 2]
But when his brother-in-law Luke comes rolling into town,
Luke's got a bigger catch, and shoots a buck with one round,
Swings the clubs like a pro, never misses par,
Leaves Zack feeling second best, it's getting way too far.

[Chorus]
Oh Zack, he's feeling blue, no matter what he tries,
Luke's always one step ahead, under those big skies,
But even when he's overshadowed, Zack will still hold true,
In the heart of Tennessee, it's Zack Wilder's blues.

[Verse 3]
Zack’s got the farm all neat, works from dawn till dusk,
Luke buys a bigger tractor, makes Zack's seams look bust,
Every brew Zack cracks open, Luke’s got a finer beer,
Just like a shadow lingering, Luke’s always near.

[Verse 4]
Mornings in the kitchen, cooking grandma's stew,
Zack’s recipe's a winner, but then out comes Luke’s too,
Cooking up the same seasonings, just a little bit more spice,
Zack sighs in quiet defeat, remembering better nights.

[Chorus]
Oh Zack, he's feeling blue, no matter what he tries,
Luke's always one step ahead, under those big skies,
But even when he's overshadowed, Zack will still hold true,
In the heart of Tennessee, it's Zack Wilder's blues.
