Faith Like an Old Oak Tree

Waking with the sun Feeling the coffee Stretch wide Answering it all Plowing roads Under endless blue sky Sweat on my brow But my heart flies Hands in the soul Growing what we need Evening's breaking Round the table we feed Laughter and stories Simple and true days Blend like rivers Pulling me through boots Caked in earth Stars light the way home This land holds my soul Never alone Oh, rural, hard-beaten, strong and free Roots run deep in this life for me From dawn's first light To the setting sun glow And the sun's light Ain't nothing better than the life we know Yeah, rural life It's my endless song Where I belong Right here all along Time's getting rough When the storm's rolling But we stand together Through thick and thin Memories carved like furrows And clay grateful for Every yesterday Oh, rural life It's my endless song Feeling my heart beatin' strong And free Roots run deep In this life for me From dawn's first light To the setting sun glow Ain't nothin' better than the life we know Yeah, rural life It's my endless song Where I belong Right here all along Waking with the sun Feeling my heart beatin' strong Roots run deep Feeling the cold Life forever Through it all It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song It's my endless song
