Between Oaks and Pines Lyrics

I can hear your voice whispering

Through the leaves on the trees

In the rushing of the wind

And in the wings on the bees

And I keep track of both footprints

And your heart when it beats

Ought to cut me off now

You keep giving grace free

You know the thought of you leavin

Got stuck in my teeth

It rotted my bones

Made it hard on me to sleep

Cause I was tryna find the Forrest

Got lost in all the Trees

Between the Oaks and the Pines

I think I found a family

I can make out your face

Through a door that's always open

But the windows all are locked

And my clothes they stink from smokin

So I blamed it on the campfire

When I smell just like a Winston

Your momma she don't know

But your daddy can't keep from grinning

When I fled this town I was coughing and a wheezing

That Grand Marquis broke down

Now I'm makin payments on a Lincoln

When the winter turned old

That's when the Sun brought through the Season

When my fickle heart turned cold

That's when the Son gave me a reason

Keep fishing the banks

And a following the river

Where your spirit leads I wanna be

Oh God, will you take me there

And I'll keep tending the fields

And a following these rows

Cause I got friends and I got family

Oh my God they gotta know

Now I'm feelin your touch

Through a dream that I forgot

A one I won't dare try rememberin

My hearts tied in a knot

Weather warmed up down in Outer Banks

The rich girls are on a hunt

Last years coats are dropped off at Goodwill

It's still winter in Vermont

So I'll graze where the grass is greener

Cause the north is fine but the folks are meaner

I'll take red dirt clay and skeeters

Over mud in may and heaters

And we'll lay out on the black top

Let the Blue Ridge hang a back drop

And the shadows paint our picture

I get sad and I start to miss her

Whenever she's gone

Hell I'm down without a meaning

God I'm begging you to stay

I'm no good at giving you a reason

When I saw the blue lights flashing

I got there first knew what to do

Sir I know that my friends are rowdy

But these boys are tried and true

Had my back in every holler

Ask the Oaks go consult the Pines

I guess that Buddle Creek made a man of me

Now It's time I start showing signs

I'll be fishing the banks

And a following the river

Where your spirit leads I wanna be

Oh God, will you take me there

And I'll keep tending the fields

And a following these rows

Cause I got friends and I got family

Oh my God, they gotta know
