New Lane Road - Josh Kelley

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 kill 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
