From the recording Swing
A drive takes singer back to her roots in a small town.
Lyrics
Old Town Road - Anne E. DeChant
I took a drive through my town
Past the church my old school
Fields of my grandfather
Felt the steel of the farming tool
I thought about living in the shadows
Of the trees that cool the air
There’s a comfort in knowing every street sign
There’s a life in the places there
Oh Old Town Road
The memories unfold
Take me back while I’m rolling forward
Out on the Old Town Road
I took a drive through my town
Where my grandma and grandpa met
He called her name from the porch swing
And with confidence turned her head
I thought about two young lovers
He was handsome is all she said
Saw her blush when she was eighty
Saw the girl who loved him yet
Oh Old Town Road
The memories unfold
Take me back while I’m rolling forward
Out on the Old Town Road
I took a drive through my town
Hung a right to head toward home
But my mind went one step further
To the end of my dead end road
I thought about being in that space
Between the girl and the woman there
When life was a baseball diamond
And the game was truth or dare
Oh Old Town Road
The memories unfold
Take me back while I’m rolling forward
Out on the Old Town Road
