Old Mission Road

Oh, I wish I had grown With my mother back home 'Cause I miss her sweet kisses and her smile And when I'm alone I wish I had known my mother for just a while Won't you walk with me, darling Just a couple of miles? Won't you tell me the stories Of when I was a child? I'd be so happy As the stories unfold Won't you walk with me, darling Down that old mission road? Oh, I wish I'd gone fishing with my father I'm still missing the touch of his strong, gentle hands Now I'm gone from the mission 'Cause someone's decision Kept me away from that man Won't you walk with me, darling Just a couple of miles? Won't you tell me the stories Of when I was a child? I'd be so happy As the stories unfold Won't you walk with me, darling Down that old mission road? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah So kiss your mother goodnight Hold your father tight And keep your family near Or else one day they might Slowly fade out of sight Just reflections in those tears Won't you walk with me, darling Just a couple of miles? Won't you tell me the stories Of when I was a child? I'd be so happy As the stories unfold Won't you walk with me, darling Down that old mission road? Won't you walk with me, darling Down that old mission road?
