Tomorrow is blessed to know right where he belonged He worked the land on a farm where he was born The fields by day, house at night, keep life simple do whats right On Sunday mornin' led the singing at the church of Christ A little girl in the summertime I used to go and stay We'd laugh and sing and make the work all seem like play I didn't listen much back then at the words he'd say If you believe in forever, forever starts today 'Cause there's a cool shady lane and a country sign They can take me back to that simple time If I could just get off of this fast lane freeway ride I'd find a cool shady lane and a country sign My youth had sailed, summers quickly come and go Papa counted days as the leaves all turned to gold He said girl don't worry, there's no need to cry Just remember what I told, he'd smile his gentle smile There's a cool shady lane and a country sign They can take me back to that simple time If I could just get off of this fast lane freeway ride I'd find a cool shady lane and a country sign If I could just get off of this fast lane freeway ride I'd find a cool shady lane and a country sign
