Summer turns this town to dust When it don't rain, the farmers cuss But they break the ground and they make the hay And it's always gonna be that way The oilfield hands belly up to the bar With new tattoos and football scars They go on and on 'bout the good old days And it's always gonna be that way And the young kids still spark up on the hill 'Bout two feet under the stars And the old men still take off their hats And they hold 'em over their hearts I still get chills down in my bones Every time I see your face And it's always gonna be that way That little white church is gonna have a crowd Every time a Sunday rolls around Yeah we read the book and we all pray And it's always gonna be that way And the young kids still spark up on the hill 'Bout two feet under the stars And the old men still take off their hats And they hold 'em over their hearts I still get chills down in my bones Every lime I hear your name And it's always gonna be that way Some people leave and don't come back Chase their dreams down a one-way track Baby I'm all yours, I'm here to stay And it's always gonna be that way Yeah it's always gonna be that way
