Lyrics
THIS OLD TREE
This Old tree has seen bout' everything
From the names carved into its bark, you just know these roots run deep
Looks like Jeffery sure loved Janie in 1923
This old tree has seen bout' everything
There's a slice of a lightning strike from 52'
A branch without leaves where they hung this swing, here for me and you
Now looking up, we've become part of its history
This old tree has seen bout everything
WE'LL GROW OLD TOGETHER, AS STRONG AS THIS OLD OAK
YEARS FROM NOW WE'LL FIND OUT, WE TOOK THE RIGHT ROAD
I DON'T GET SENTAMENTAL MUCH, GUESS THAT'S JUST NOT ME
BUT THIS OLD TREE HAS SEEN BOUT' EVERYTHING
In 85' when the factory died it almost killed the whole damn town
They tried to pave this park, and cut this tree right down
But it weathered all that and just moved past then to better times
So as long as we hold on to each other for the rest of our lives
Chorus
