Country drive

We would drive down a country road

To see if we could find something old

We crossed some tracts and see a house falling down

And wondered if this use to be a small town

There is a truck parked in the old churches lot

As we talked like this might be the perfect spot

A man comes around from a large oak tree

So we ask what was the name of this town might be

He didn’t say so we asked if we could look around

He said ok and over there is our sacred grounds

The graves head stones were covered with a lot of weeds

And then we felt a cold and erie breeze

While talking to this man he then said this town use to be great

But over the years the population is down to eight

We knew that the nearest town was ten miles away

so we said our goodbyes knowing this wasn’t the place to stay
