(mmmmm-hmmmmm) Walking down the gravel path with mud on my shoes
Thinking 'bout the old life I had to lose
Just a pinebox guitar and a story to tell
Blowing sweet smoke down in the hollow well (yeah)
And the wind keeps on whistling through the trees
Bringing back all of those memories
Oh, take me back to the wooden floor
Where the dust settles by the kitchen door
Singing simple truth till the morning light
We don't need a fire to burn so bright
Two lanes, asphalt fading into dirt
Carrying the weight under this flannel shirt
Old man told me keep your head on straight
Don't let the city rust settle on your gate So I speak
my piece to the open sky
Watching grey clouds slowly drifting by
We run, we fall,
we stand On this cold clay land
(we stand)
Oh, take me back to the wooden floor
Where the dust settles by the kitchen door
Singing simple truth till the morning light
We don't need a fire to burn so bright
Just a simple truth
Till the morning light (ahhhh)
