Dirt Roads

Country dirt roads –
 This walk is not the same without you -
 Right here – by me – the twig I trip over is you -
 Over – this bridge – the memories of the past times
 Look up – past the trees – and to the left –
 The broken house that you lived in -
 Good times was all we had –
 Concrete slabs spray painted -
 Leaves me pictures of you -
 I patiently wait... (the place we played) for you -
 I silently pray...(you'll find a way) for you -
 The top – of this tree – where we could see for miles -
 Stories – of the times – the testimonies of our lives -
 Smell the air – take a breath – fall asleep and listen in -
 We learn a lot from experiences, but it's no good if we don't change. -
 Good times was all we had – concrete slabs spray painted -
 Leaves me pictures of you - I patiently wait... for you -
 I silently pray... for you
 Close your eyes (It's time to move on to the new.) -
 Hold on tight (forget the past, forget old 'you'.) -
 We'll be alright (look to the new pasture.) -
 Close your eyes (the past won't meet your future.) -
 The field – the creek - where the fort we built I think still lay -
 Crooked branches with our names - still engraved -
 They'll stay the same.
