Josh Kelley - New Lane Road lyrics

Take me down to New Lane Road Effort into the river slow Where the sun is warm, the fields are gold Take me down to New Lane Road Take me where I caught her eye On blankets under mountain skies Where the trees whisper when winter blows Take me down to New Lane Road This is my home This is my life Oh, I've read the Bill of Rights And all the stories of the proud who've died from me and you These are my kids And this is my wife I put up a forty every time I raise my stars under the red, the white, the beautiful blues Yeah, we are the rivers carved of melted snow Take me down to New Lane Road We are the wild We are the free We are the earth beneath our feet We take our time We do it right And we never back down without a fight This is my home This is my life Oh, I've read the Bill of Rights And all the stories of the proud who've died from me and you These are my kids And this is my wife I put up a forty every time I raise my stars under the red, the white, the beautiful blues Yeah, we are the rivers carved of melted snow Oh, take me down to New Lane Road "[?] we would take care of the earth, the earth is the protector of us I would as a kid go with him on the tractor and he'd be plowing the field He'd be digging up fresh dirt and there's this, there's this, this distinctive smell to of this rich dirt You know, he'd point out to me what was good dirt and what was bad dirt And he would always say, you'd basically get out of mother nature what you put back in Remember if you're going to k** the soil, you got to give something back." This is my home This is my life Oh, I've read the Bill of Rights And all the stories of the proud who've died from me and you These are my kids And this is my wife I put up a forty every time I raise my stars under the red, the white, the beautiful blues Yeah, we are the rivers carved of melted snow Take me down to New Lane Road Take me down to New Lane Road Take me down to New Land Road
