That Old Oak Tree

[Verse] In the heart of the south Where the whiskey flows Underneath the shade of a tree that time knows I found my solace In those worn-out boots With the smell of tobacco and old records to soothe [Verse] That old oak tree With branches reaching high Whispers secrets to the midnight sky As the guitar moans And the fiddle wails I'll sing my songs 'til the night turns pale [Chorus] Oh That old oak tree It's where I belong Singing 'bout love and the roads that I've roamed Where the bourbon runs deep And the wild wind blows Underneath that old oak tree My heart it glows My heart it glows [Bridge] In the stillness of the night Underneath the moon's soft light I'll strum my guitar, let the music flow Beneath those branches, I'll let my soul grow [Chorus] Oh That old oak tree It's where I belong Singing 'bout love and the roads that I've roamed Where the bourbon runs deep And the wild wind blows Underneath that old oak tree My heart it glows [Chorus] Oh That old oak tree It's where I belong Singing 'bout love and the roads that I've roamed Where the bourbon runs deep And the wild wind blows Underneath that old oak tree My heart it glows [Outro] And when my time here is through Lay me down 'neath skies so blue Let the roots of that oak embrace my bones In eternal slumber, I'll find my home
