V1:
I grew up with the country side all around
Where the only music was Bluegrass sound
Happy and contented in the life I was living
Where neighbors helped another by giving
V2:
I was raised poor with a love very strong
Dad played a guitar and sang a song
My Dad was a strong and honorable man
He commanded respect all over the land
V3:
He taught me well by setting an example
We were poor everything else was ample
I miss the days I learned about pleasures
For man and wife good love is a treasure
Chorus:
Embedded deep in my soul and mind
Are memories of another place and time
When I was young and experience told
And the future was mine to have and hold
Then I thought all dreams would come true
Simply by wishing and hoping for them too
When the world was mine as a domain
To explore without the cold the falling rain
V4:
Now I live far away from those country hills
I live in the city with its burdens and bills
I would trade all I have to go back in time
Dream of deep memories down in my mind
