Steve Spurgin - Blue Hollow Road lyrics

rate me

The old home place don’t look the same as back in 1960. <br />

It’s leaning now, the yard’s all overgrown. <br />

One good wind may put an end to where I spent my childhood <br />

Far from town, one mile down Blue Hollow Road. <br />

Momma raised her children straight and read the family Bible. <br />

While Daddy worked his fingers to the bone. <br />

He never spoke one unkind word, and coaxed a meager living <br />

From the ground, one mile down Blue Hollow Road. <br />

The only thing we had enough of — was love, <br />

And it helped us share the load. <br />

I’m proud to be on that family tree — I still hear the laughter <br />

Echo ‘round, one mile down Blue Hollow Road. <br />

I wonder why I was bound to try all the world can offer, <br />

When all the world can’t satisfy your soul. <br />

All the miles and years that I spent looking for some answer, <br />

And never found what I had down Blue Hollow Road. <br />

The only thing we had enough of — was love, <br />

And it helped us share the load. <br />

I’m proud to be on that family tree — I still hear the laughter <br />

Echo ‘round, one mile down Blue Hollow Road..
