College Grove

A rollicking little song about the fun- and musically significant- place where my sister dug in and made a wonderful, agrarian life.

There’s too much city in this here town
And all this concrete just brings me down
Maybe we should go back to College Grove
Where the livin’s easy and the beer is cold

Chorus:
Hey there darlin’ won’t you come with me
Let’s point this truck towards Tennessee
Sell your jewelry and your fancy things
Buy some cowboy boots and some tight blue jeans

Your daddy said that we’d never last
Tell your daddy he can can kiss my ass
Cause we just crossed the Arkansas line
We’re gonna leave that big city far behind

Chorus:
Hey there darlin’ won’t you come with me
Let’s point this truck towards Tennessee
Sell your jewelry and your fancy things
Buy some cowboy boots and some tight blue jeans

There’s the Big Muddy so take my hand
Let’s cross that bridge to the promised land
Baby there’s nothing I’d rather do
Than drive all these Tennessee highways with you

Bridge:
Now it’s 40 east to 65 south
Arno Road to that old farm house
Where we used to live in the good old days
And where we’re going home to stay

Chorus:
Hey there darlin’ won’t you come with me
Let’s point this truck towards Tennessee
Sell your jewelry and your fancy things
Buy some cowboy boots and some tight blue jeans
