That Ol' Track
Looking out on old familiar land
Wheels roll on through pasture turned to sand
It's where my heart lies, wherever I may roam
Mother Nature has turned my horse to home
Daddy's farm had suffered in the dry
Bank foreclosed, three hundred cattle died
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway
Cousin Betty and Round-'em-up Ron Deejay
Call me up to see what money I could raise
So I decided I should lend a hand
So I came home to play here with my band
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway
All the townsfolk are gathered in the square
Good country people have come from everywhere
My dear old Daddy, a tear was in his eye
Son's good fortune helped to break the dry
As I played, something made me catch my breath
My childhood sweetheart, I never could forget
Lindy Lou, I sang my songs for you
Said that I'd be back to promise you I do
Should have known that I was gonna keep my word, yeah
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway, yeah!
Wheels roll on through pasture turned to sand
It's where my heart lies, wherever I may roam
Mother Nature has turned my horse to home
Daddy's farm had suffered in the dry
Bank foreclosed, three hundred cattle died
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway
Cousin Betty and Round-'em-up Ron Deejay
Call me up to see what money I could raise
So I decided I should lend a hand
So I came home to play here with my band
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway
All the townsfolk are gathered in the square
Good country people have come from everywhere
My dear old Daddy, a tear was in his eye
Son's good fortune helped to break the dry
As I played, something made me catch my breath
My childhood sweetheart, I never could forget
Lindy Lou, I sang my songs for you
Said that I'd be back to promise you I do
Should have known that I was gonna keep my word, yeah
That ol' track takes me back again
Leads me back to my family and my friends
Never did like the city folks anyway, yeah!
