Augusta On My Sleeve
dalton sands
male vocals
Roots-country band feel with male vocals: twangy electric and warm acoustic guitars
brushed snare and laid-back bass. Verses stay intimate and conversational; chorus swells with stacked harmonies and a touch of organ. Subtle slide guitar answers key lines
building to a small but heartfelt final chorus lift.

[Verse 1]
Gravel under boots on Main
I can hear that screen door slam
Mama yelling “boy
Come eat”
I just chase that river sand
Tobacco barns and Friday lights
Same ten guys
Same busted field
Thought I’d leave and never look
But this town is stitched into my shield
[Chorus]
I got Augusta on my sleeve
Red clay on my jeans
Every mile I roam
Still smells like home to me
From a two-lane
Blink-and-miss
To the biggest city dream
I’m Kentucky raised
Augusta on my sleeve
(yeah, that’s me)
[Verse 2]
Old man Charlie
Corner store
Knew my first and middle name
Let me buy that faded map
Said “boy
Every road runs back this way”
Shotgun in my granddad’s truck
Rust and stories
Both run deep
Now when I’m stuck in some high-rise night
I close my eyes and I can hear that creek
[Chorus]
I got Augusta on my sleeve
Red clay on my jeans
Every mile I roam
Still smells like home to me
From a two-lane
Blink-and-miss
To the biggest city dream
I’m Kentucky raised
Augusta on my sleeve
(yeah, that’s me)
[Bridge]
Some folks chase a brand-new name
I just carry where I’m from
In my drawl
In my prayers
In the way I love someone
If you wonder what built me
It ain’t hard to see
It’s that little river town
Beating steady underneath
[Chorus]
I got Augusta on my sleeve
Red clay on my jeans
Every mile I roam
Still smells like home to me
From a two-lane
Blink-and-miss
To the biggest city dream
I’m Kentucky raised
Augusta on my sleeve
I’m Kentucky raised
Augusta’s in my seams
(oh, that’s me)
Gravel under boots on Main
I can hear that screen door slam
Mama yelling “boy
Come eat”
I just chase that river sand
Tobacco barns and Friday lights
Same ten guys
Same busted field
Thought I’d leave and never look
But this town is stitched into my shield
[Chorus]
I got Augusta on my sleeve
Red clay on my jeans
Every mile I roam
Still smells like home to me
From a two-lane
Blink-and-miss
To the biggest city dream
I’m Kentucky raised
Augusta on my sleeve
(yeah, that’s me)
