Kevin L. Griffith - Just An Old Oak Tree

For centuries now the oak stands tall
Bear and deer feast when the acorns fall
How many squirrels have made it their home
And how many birds through your leaves have flown
Oak tree oak tree, centuries old
What a sight to see. Oh the memories you hold
They say that it's just an old oak tree
But you know what, you're more than that to me
A farm boy's playground, it had a swing
Treehouse, tree stand and bees that sting
Up among the limbs we climbed higher
And down below, we built campfires
Oak tree oak tree, centuries old
What a sight to see. Oh the memories you hold
They say that it's just some old oak tree
But you know what, you're more than that to me
The loggers they wanted to cut it down
And sell it as lumber back in town
Our old man told 'em just stay clear
It's the heart of the farm and we hold it dear
Up from the Southeast came a terrible storm
Against wind and lightnin' our oak stood firm
And we hope it stands for generations to come
And all them young'ns use it for their own fun
Oak tree oak tree, centuries old
What a sight to see. Oh the memories you hold
They say that it's just an old oak tree
But you know what, you're more than that to me
They say that it's just an old oak tree
Yea you know what, you're so much more to me
