Smooth as Silk

[Verse] Down a gravel road where the willows grow, There's a little house where love would flow. Mama in the kitchen, Daddy on the plow, Life was hard, but we made it somehow. [Verse 2] Granddaddy's fiddle played each night, Under the stars, by the firelight. Stories of old days and fields so wide, Smiles so gentle, hearts full of pride. [Chorus] Life was rough, but love was smooth as silk, Momma's hand, like a feather on quilt. Through the storms and the tears we built, A love that’s tough, but smooth as silk. [Verse 3] Brother on the tractor, me on the swing, Two country boys and a sweet summer fling. Catchin' fireflies, wishin' on a star, Days so close, never seemed so far. [Verse 4] Picked up my old guitar, started to strum, With dreams of Nashville, where songs come from. Left those fields and the home I knew, But I took that love, and the skies so blue. [Chorus] Life was rough, but love was smooth as silk, Momma's hand, like a feather on quilt. Through the storms and the tears we built, A love that’s tough, but smooth as silk.
