From the recordings C.R. 434 and Elm Creek Road
A blue-grass kinda tune that captures the innocence of simpler times known as childhood and that first love with whom you share a lifetime.
Lyrics
I remember huntin’ and fishin’, bein’ as happy as I could be,
No Game Boy, no Xbox, no giant screen TV.
Spent my time with friends and neighbors, outside just havin’ fun,
Now I believe that youth is wasted on our iPod totin’ young.
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I long to be,
There’s no place on earth as fine as that for me,
So many mem’ries and people, so many things to do
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I’m headin’ to.
Thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I got my first kiss,
From a girl on Elm Creek Road, those times I really miss.
She’s the only one I’ve known, to ever really care,
Goin’ back to Elm Creek Road, in hopes I’ll find her there.
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I long to be,
There’s no place on earth as fine as that for me,
So many mem’ries and people, so many things to do,
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I’m headin’ to.
When my life is at its end and it’s time for me to go,
I’ll’ve spent it with that girl, just wantin’ y’all to know.
Take and spread all of my ashes where the wild flowers grow
In a patch of Texas Bluebonnets along good old Elm Creek Road.
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I long to be,
There’s no place on earth as fine as that for me,
So many mem’ries and people, so many things to do
Elm Creek Road, Texas, is where I’m headin’ to.
