Lyrics Hank Williams Jr.

Hank Williams Jr.

Mighty Oak Trees

Like mighty oak trees

They line a shaded, well-worn path

They're the souls that have walked beside me

And I can see that, lookin' back

Friends that stood by me

Right up to the last

Like mighty oak trees

They've helped me walk this well worn path

Down by the waters

Of a stream that never ends

They sheltered me from the noonday sun and guard me

From the wind

Now I close my eyes and I can see them

All once again

Like mighty oak trees

Down by that stream that never ends

Strong and always there

When I needed them the most

You know they're rooted

Way down deep in my soul

Now I think about 'em all the time

When I'm out on the road

And every night when I lay down I know I'm lookin' up

At mighty oak trees

Like mighty oak trees

They have stood the test of time

They were always there to lean on

When strength was hard to find

I just hope that one day

You're lucky enough to find

Mighty oak trees

Mighty oak trees

Like those rowdy friends of mine
