Sacred Ground Lyrics

I would spend my summers down by the river with my friends

Laughin' and playin' in the water until the daylight ends

I remember the smell of the willows and lying' on the rocks

A few cowboys, some Indians, some stoners and some jocks

We never had any trouble, we all got along

Those were great summers and I'm sad that they are gone

Sometimes late at night, I still hear all the sounds

Oh what a great place to be, those are sacred grounds

God, I miss those mountains and I miss the valleys below

I think about all the people there that I used to know

And I can see how lucky that I really am to

Grow up in a place like this and turn into a man

We never had any trouble, we all got along

Those were great summers and I'm sad that they are gone

Sometimes late at night, I still hear all the sounds

Oh what a great place to be, those are sacred grounds

Now some of those old faces, I still see there today

I love that Carson River where those memories never fade

Long walks through the fields , the sagebrush and the heat

Jump into the water where life becomes so sweet

We never had any trouble, we all got along

Those were great summers and I'm sad that they are gone

Sometimes late at night, I still hear all the sounds

Oh what a great place to be

Yeah, what a great place to be

Oh what a great place to be

Stand on sacred ground

Oh what a great place to be

Oh what a great place to be
