Under That Old Tree

Verse 1

I got a little time, girl, come on, climb

Get up in this here and let's go take a ride

Wind's blowin' right, ain't it just the perfect night?

A little time to kill, a couple thrills

A bottle and a song to get us up that hill

We're down that winding road that only we know

Verse 2

You know my mama, she's a good woman

But she never really thought that I'd be one

She said, "Son, settle down, find a little town"

She didn't know I'd never leave this ground

Pre-Chorus

And I'm sorry for the things I put you through

But you know this old heart only beats for you

Chorus

Oh, baby, don't you ever let me go

Like the leaves on an old oak tree

Like the sun at the end of the day

Like a memory fades away

And if I ever lose my way

Won't you lead me home?

'Cause when we're back on that old dirt road

I know it's where I oughta be

Right beside ya, under that old oak tree

That was left for you and me

Verse 3

Remember that night, when you left all right?

Left me here to die on the outside lookin' in

Thought we'd never see that day again

Then you came around, opened up my heart

Tore my world around, put it back together from the start

Verse 4

Now, I don't know where we're gonna go

But I know this old truck will get us home

It's been my best friend through the thick and thin

If I could go back, I'd do it all again

Pre-Chorus

I can't wait 'til I can touch your skin

'Til you're laying right here next to me again

Chorus

Oh, baby, don't you ever let me go

Like the leaves on an old oak tree

Like the sun at the end of the day

Like a memory fades away

And if I ever lose my way

Won't you lead me home?

'Cause when we're back on that old dirt road

I know it's where I oughta be

Right beside ya, under that old oak tree

That was left for you and me

Guitar Solo

Bridge

That tree, it's been standing all my life

It's seen me wrong, it's seen me right

It's seen us laugh, it's seen us fight

It's seen me walk you through the night

Chorus

Oh, baby, don't you ever let me go

Like the leaves on an old oak tree

Like the sun at the end of the day

Like a memory fades away

And if I ever lose my way

Won't you lead me home?

'Cause when we're back on that old dirt road

I know it's where I oughta be

Right beside ya, under that old oak tree

That was left for you and me

Outro

Yeah, that was left for you and me

Right beside ya, under that old oak tree

That was left for you and me
