New Lane Road

Take me down to New Lane Road

Bare foot in 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 sky

Where the trees they whisper wind a blow

Oh 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 for me and you

These are my kids and this is my wife

I put before me 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 for me and you

These are my kids and this is my wife

I put before me 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

"Daddy always taught us if we would take care of the earth, the earth would take care 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 a distinctive smell to a good rich dirt

You know, he could point out to me what was good dirt and what was bad dirt

And he would always say you basically get out of Mother Nature what you put back in

Remember if you're gonna fill the soil, you gotta 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 for me and you

These are my kids and this is my wife

I put before me 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, mmm

Take me down to New Land Road
