Where the Good Days Grow

Songtekst

[Verse 1] You’re up before the kettle starts to sing Boots by the door, the red barn’s waking You call the hens, I unlatch the gate And the old blue tractor turns over late [Chorus] Come on down where the good days grow Where the rows run straight and the creek runs slow You bring the coffee, I’ll bring the pail We’ll meet the morning out along the trail [Verse 2] You set the peaches in a wooden crate I mend the fence by the pasture gate The collie keeps watch by the clover field And rain on the tin roof sweetens the yield [Chorus] Come on down where the good days grow Where the rows run straight and the creek runs slow You bring the coffee, I’ll bring the pail We’ll meet the morning out along the trail [Bridge] When the harvest moon climbs over the hill We’ll sit on the porch while the world grows still You’ll tell me the plans we’ve been saving for spring And I’ll say, “There’s nowhere I’d rather be.” [Final Chorus] Come on down where the good days grow Where the rows run straight and the creek runs slow You bring the coffee, I’ll bring the pail We’ll meet the morning out along the trail [Outro] You and me, and the fields we know Right here together, watching things grow
