American Steel - Old Croy Road lyrics

When I lost my dad, I was ten years old Had a heart filled with venom and poisonous tongue Hated everything about the whole damn world Mom was tough as they come and she held us close Tried to raise us to the standards of his ghost It was hard on her, guess it was hard on us too But when some had no one, we had a village to get us through Years have flown by Somehow we've survived Somewhat broken hearted But willing enough to try Tell me that you'll be there And we'll hear dance music from down below Walking arm in arm through the summer air With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road We lost my dad when I was ten years old I got his record collection and stereo console I learned every word, sang every line Trying to find the man I was sure was hidden inside Let's breathe the summer air Dance underneath the moonlight We'll steal kisses under the oaks And I'll be loving life Tell me that you'll be there And we'll hear dance music from down below Walking arm in arm through the summer air With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road We lost my dad when I was ten years old I got his record collection and stereo console I learned every word, sang every line It's the old songs and old friends that have kept me alive Let's breathe the summer air Dance underneath the moonlight We'll steal kisses under the oaks And I'll be loving life
