Doug Pinson - I See It

Lay me down in the cold home ground
Of Eastern Kentucky when I die
Don't shed a tear, for I won't be here
You'll find me in the stars that shine at night
I spent my younger days dreaming of leaving
Riding on a coal train out of town
What I'd give to have just one chance
To ride that train to back then now

I see it
The one room wooden house where mamaw went to school
The white church on the hill where I learned the Golden Rule
Those days are gone, never to return
But in my heart, their recollections ever burn
I see it, oh I see it

If you look around my new hometown
We'd agree it seems I've got it good
But it can't replace the memories made
In that emerald hillside holler neighborhood
I drive down 55 all the way to Freedom
I'd take Church Road and turn right back around
But in my heart that's never where I'm going
In my mind I'm Shelbiana bound

I see it
The swinging bridge that crossed big Sandy River
Christmas, Easter, and those Sunday dinners
Those days are gone, never to return
But in my heart, their recollections ever burn
I see it, oh I see it

I see it
The smell of honeysuckle on the vine
The taste of homemade blackberry wine
Those days are gone, never to return
But in my heart, their recollections ever burn
I see it, oh I see it

Lay me down in the cold home ground
Of Eastern Kentucky when I die
