Sit Awhile

I take this walk once a week Cool my beer in a runnin' creek Take the boots off my feet and just sit awhile With my back against an old oak tree I close my eyes, pretend it speaks And tell it all my troubles and my dreams If this tree could talk, it'd say, hush up boy Just be quiet, everything's gonna be alright Now son, dry up those tears And free your mind from all those fears And just sit awhile So I wipe away my last tear And finish up my last beer Put on my boots and leave with a smile From these woods in the south I head to an old brick house Walk up on that porch and just sit awhile If this house could talk, it'd say, hush up boy Just be quiet, everything's gonna be alright Now son, dry up those tears And free your mind from all those fears And just sit awhile Now houses will crumble, and trees they fall down But the empty spot in my heart still remains And that creek may stop runnin' And I may leave this town But the words in that stone will never change So I take a drive when I'm weak Late at night when I can't sleep And turn your favorite station up real loud Leave my headlights on your name Then I kneel beside your grave And start to pray, man it's been awhile If He could talk, He'd say, hush up boy Don't be scared, 'cause I'm everywhere Now son, dry up those tears Close your eyes, 'cause I'm right here Let's sit awhile Yeah, let's sit awhile
