Lyrics
Never understood my Daddy's drive
To remember days of old
Back to the farm past Clinton Falls
Old rusted threshers
Waste away in the field
But that old barn still stands tall
But the memories are just as fresh
As the days they'd been laid down
I can't forget that twinkle in his eye
Yesterdays had been replayed
As we roamed the old home town
I guess Steele County Memories never die
407 Chestnut was the home that he knew best
His misadventures linger on
A summer drive down old bridge road, lilac in the air
Sets him to singing that old song
What I wouldn't give to take that trip again
To hear them same old stories being told
Reminisce the way we did back then
I guess I'm driving down that same dirt road
You know Steele County Memories
I guess Steele County Memories never die
