Hickory tree shade Lyrics

I've been running wild, chasing ghosts in the wind

Trying to find myself in places I've never been

But you know these Tennessee hills, they don't forget

They've seen every tear, every sunset regret

I parked my truck by that old creek side

Let the water wash away what's left of my pride

And there you were, standing in the breeze

With a heart so soft, you put my mind at ease

In the shade of a hickory tree, we found our way

Where the world slows down and the hurt don't stay

Got your hand in mine, and we're letting go

Of everything we thought we needed to know

Cause when you love like this, it's all you need

Just me and you in that hickory tree shade, honey, we're free

I was wandering lost, just trying to be tough

But sometimes this life's more than enough

You smiled and said, honey, we'll make it through

With a little bit of faith and a whole lot of you

We'll take the long road, won't rush the ride

Let the sunrise find us side by side

It's the little things, like a southern breeze

That bring us back to where we're meant to be

In the shade of a hickory tree, we found our way

Where the world slows down and the hurt don't stay

Got your hand in mine, and we're letting go

Of everything we thought we needed to know

Cause when you love like this, it's all you need

Just me and you in that hickory tree shade, honey, we're free

We'll raise our glass to the life we made

Where the cicadas sing and the troubles fade

No rush in the river, no ways to run

Just you and me, baby, and the Tennessee sun

In the shade of a hickory tree, we found our way

Where the world slows down and the hurt don't stay

Got your hand in mine, and we're letting go

Of everything we thought we needed to know

Cause when you love like this, it's all you need

Just me and you in that hickory tree shade, honey, we're free

Yeah, just me and you, baby, in that hickory tree shade

Tennessee love, where the memories are made

Yeah, just me and you, baby, in that hickory tree shade

Tennessee love, where the memories are made
