I grew up in a town with one red light How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night But I slept like a baby in that bed Cause mama kept me warm and kept me fed July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine Wed all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines Staring at that little babys grave Stella was as young as she was brave What Id give to go there again Kiss my daddys face, hold my mamas hand Little did I know soon they would be lying right beside her Gone away from me Gone away from me They always made us kneel by grandpas grave Mama wasnt wailing asking God if he was saved I never liked to see my daddy cry I guess Ill never know how grandpa died What Id give to go there again Kiss my daddys face, hold my mamas hand Little did I know soon they would be lying right beside him Gone away from me Gone away from me gone away from me Gone away from me, from me gone away from me Gone away from me gone away from me You barely even see the tombstones now The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds Strangers live inside my childhood home And I cant believe that daddys really gone What Id give to go there again Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand But there aint no way there aint no way that will ever be Theyre lying neath that oak tree Gone away from me gone away from me Gone away from me Gone away from me gone away from me Well I grew up in a town with one red light
gone, away, mama, daddy, lying
