Using vivid descriptions of nature and small-town life, the verses capture the spirit of the Midwest by reflecting on ordinary people and everyday experiences. From the tranquil images of green fields and flowing streams at the beginning, Riley creates a sense of nostalgia and joy, especially when thinking about childhood memories.
