Down by the Ol' Creek

[Verse] There's a rusty ol' truck sittin' out by the barn, Where the fields stretch wide and life's kind of darn, We got fried chicken on Sunday and sweet tea so fine, And a porch swing that's older than the pine. [Verse 2] Granny's in the kitchen bakin' up a pie, With a smile that could light up the darkest sky, Granddad's on the tractor, workin' the soil, And it's that simple life that makes me feel whole. [Chorus] Down by the ol' creek is where we play, Fishin' with a cane pole, passin' the day, Barefoot in the mud, livin' free, A small-town life is just right for me. [Verse 3] Got a dog named Blue chasin' after the hens, He never catches 'em, but still, he pretends, BBQ on Friday, under the stars so bright, And the sound of crickets serenades the night. [Bridge] Sometimes folks come 'round from the city lights, Lookin' for peace under these country nights, They say life's slower, and they ain't wrong, 'Cause out here, y'all, you learn to be strong. [Verse 4] With a Bible on the dresser and a rifle on the rack, We say our prayers and never look back, Morning dew on the hay, rooster's crow at dawn, It's the only life I've known, the only one I want.
