Down to Willie's

Verse 1

Sunrise on the gravel road

Dust rollin off the tires I own

Diesel hum beneath the seat

Forty acres calling me

Out past the old fence line

Where the river bends and the cattails climb

Willie's got the coffee going

Said he'd have the engine running

Pre-Chorus

And I can almost hear the horn

Blowing through the morning fog

Chorus

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Mud on my boots and the radio singing

Wheels turn slow but the hours pass fast

Round hay bales and a sky that won't last

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Post-Chorus

On down the lane

On down the lane

Verse 2

He'll meet me at the crossroads

Same spot as last November

Loose bolts and worn-out belts

Talk about the weather changing

His porch light still blinking

Patched-up jeans and a stubborn grin

We got parts in the back bed

Traded for an old toaster

Pre-Chorus

And I can almost hear him laugh

Carrying over the hill

Chorus

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Mud on my boots and the radio singing

Wheels turn slow but the hours pass fast

Round hay bales and a sky that won't last

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Bridge

Rusted springs and red paint fading

Two old friends keep on waiting

Dirt roads never look the same

When you know the name at the end of the lane

Chorus

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Mud on my boots and the radio singing

Wheels turn slow but the hours pass fast

Round hay bales and a sky that won't last

Driving the tractor down to Willie's

Post-Chorus

On down the lane

On down the lane

Down to Willie's
