Merton
Liner notes
A gentle acoustic country tune about the Town of Merton, Wisconsin, nestled in the Lake Country. The song reflects on the five beautiful lakes and the quiet trails where the Ice Age Trail winds through the woods. With a warm, nostalgic melody, it celebrates the tight-knit community, the local ballparks, and the peaceful rural life that has grown since the days it was called Warren.
