Oak Among the Pine Lyrics

He's like an oak tree on a hill

That's been standing there a hundred years

He made it through many bitter nights

He'd say darkness always proceeds the light

He'd never let you feel the scars from his fights He covered them well each spring time

He was strong and fierce when He was young But he just got sweeter as time went on

He was a Hell of a man in my mind

He was an oak tree among the pine

His roots ran deeper than you know

His family was his heart and soul

But he grew up hard with integrity

He wore his honor on his leaves

With thirsty eyes on every move he made

I dreamed of becoming like him one day

I didn't know it then, but I do today

I was always covered by his shade

He was a Hell of a man in my eyes

He was an oak tree among the pine

And You may never find,

His name written in the annals of time

But the Rings inside that tree

They tell a story, of a history

And ten thousand memories

And he will forever live on in my mind

He was an oak tree among the pine

Yeah my Paw Paw he was one of a kind

He was an oak tree among the pine
