He never gonna leave without a 1st class song 💙💙

this to open leeds festival was amazing ❤️

A slower cowpunk ballad about life in the holler — working long hours at the factory, raising a family in a single-wide trailer, and dreaming of just a little more room. Double-Wide Dreams is both a love song to Appalachia and an honest reflection on the struggles of making ends meet. It’s about staying rooted in the mountains while chasing a better life for your kids.

LYRICS

(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Verse 1]
I live in a single-wide, down in a holler,
Wife and my boy, every dollar’s a dollar.
I punch the clock at the factory gate,
Hoping hard the foreman calls my name.
The pay is low, the hours are long,
But we get by, and we get strong.

[Chorus 1]
Double-wide dreams, a little more room,
Cradle in the corner for the baby that’s due.
A patch of grass where my boy can run,
And hope in my heart for the second one.
I don’t need riches, I don’t need to leave,
Just chasing my double-wide dreams.

[Verse 2]
The air is clean, the hills are green,
But the jobs are scarce, and the work is mean.
Doctor bills stack like the coal mine dust,
You learn to hope, and you learn to trust.
I could move away, but I never will,
My roots run deep in these mountains still.

[Chorus 2]
Double-wide dreams, a place to belong,
Enough in the pantry to keep us strong.
Porch light glowing in the mountain rain,
A little more comfort, a little less pain.
I don’t need riches, I don’t need to leave,
Still chasing my double-wide dreams.

[Bridge]
Some folks see poverty, some just see pain,
But I see beauty in the mountain rain.
The whippoorwill sings, and the fireflies glow,
It’s home to me, and that’s all I know.

[Verse 3]
If management comes, I’ll shake that hand,
But if not, I’ll still be a thankful man.
We beg for water in the time of drought,
When the rain comes back, hope we don't wash out.
For the holler nights and the porchlight shine,
Are a welcome home to a simple shrine.

[Chorus 3]
Double-wide dreams, my children grown,
A place they can always call their own.
Life’s not easy, but it’s been kind,
Love and the mountains gave me peace of mind.
I don’t need riches, I don’t need to leave,
I’ve been living my double-wide dreams.
