Lyrics
Sunrise paintin' the sky in gold Callin' me back to days of old
Plowin' rows under endless blue Daddy's calloused hands pullin' through Mama's laugh in the evenin' light Supper on the table, everything right Barefoot chasin' dreams in the hay Summer nights that never fade away Holdin' her hand by the old oak tree Young love bloomin' wild and free
Oh, these country roads still run in my veins Hard work and heartaches, sunshine and rain Family ties that time can't break Runnin' home where my soul awakes Yeah, that's where I belong Singin' this simple country song
Years rolled on, I chased the miles City lights and wanderin' trials But every mile pulls me back again To the soil, the kin, the love within
Oh, these country roads still run in my veins Hard work and heartaches, sunshine and rain Family ties that time can't break Runnin' home where my soul awakes Yeah, that's where I belong Singin' this simple country song
Sunset glowin', callin' me home In this life, I've never roamed too far From the heart of who we are
Country Roads in My Veins
