Open Roads and Heartstrings

Old dirt road where the dust would rise

Now it's paved but it's the same blue skies

I still feel the weight of my father's hand

Teaching me how to love this land

And the years they fly

like a passing train

Leaving tracks of joy

and a little pain

It's the simple things that hold us tight

A porch-light burning in the night

Just a hand to hold and a song to

sing

Yeah, we found our gold in the simple

things (found our gold)

There's a quiet strength

in an honest day

And the promises that we don't betray

Working hard under the midday sun

Knowing we're proud when the work is done

It's the simple things that hold us tight

A porch-light burning in the night

Just a hand to hold and a song to

sing

Yeah, we found our gold in the simple

things

Yeah, the simple things Just a hand to hold
