Dirt Road Date
By Erin Neville
Want to walk with you down a gravel road, hop into the creek with the singing toads,
Skip a few rocks see where they go, further than us I just don’t know
Carve our names into the big tall oak, kiss a little more while you tell a joke,
Pick some touch-me-nots while you’re touching me, listen to the hum of the honey bees
Its walkabout, a learn about, a laugh about you and me
We gather berries, pick flowers, tell stories, and hopes and dreams
We share our passions, share our lessons, and our wishes down by the stream.
Everything feels so right, almost like fate, on this dirt road date, tonight.
The stars sure seem bright when you’re next to me, don’t remember this light shining through the trees
The woods are quiet unlike my mind, it’s racing with thoughts of you, the forever kind
You smile at me and give me a laugh, it’s all over now I’m on your path
Its walkabout, a learn about, a laugh about you and me
We gather berries, pick flowers, tell stories, and hopes and dreams
We share our passions, share our lessons, and our wishes down by the stream.
Everything feels so right, almost like fate, on this dirt road date, tonight.
So if you’re looking for more than just dinner and a show, pack up your truck, hit the road and go
Find yourselves down some old winding road, where the crickets chirp, and the dandelions grow
The airs a little sweeter and so is the love, under God’s sky way up above
Its walkabout, a learn about, a laugh about you and me
We gather berries, pick flowers, tell stories, and hopes and dreams
We share our passions, share our lessons, and our wishes down by the stream.
Everything feels so right, almost like fate, on this dirt road date, tonight.
