Where The Dogwoods Grow

Honey, I'll follow the white tails home
And build for us a place of our own
Where the dogwoods grow, we'll reap what we sow
And a child we'll carve out of stone
When he's big and strong, and the others too
When the cows are fed and the worries few
Honey, I'll see if the neighbor man needs some company so he's not alone

My love for you
Is just as true
But God gave me a job to do
I'll come back home
It won't be long
I'll lay you down and play your song

Honey, I'll hang em' a new tire swing
And wipe the tears with every bee sting
When we disagree, we'll pray as we bleed
And I'll kiss you goodnight just the same
If the man next door needs a meal, three, or four
I'll drive him down to the grocery store
I'll plant a few seeds, and we'll grow what he needs But I'll leave you a note just before
Saying

My love for you
Is just as true
But God gave me a job to do
I'll come back home
It won't be long
I'll lay you down and play your song

Honey, I'll find enough wood for the cold
And write the same old stories I've told
About you and I, and the bright summer sky
When I wrapped your ring finger in gold
Tomorrow I'll take the kids for a walk
When we pass the old man's cabin I'll stop
And honey, I'll see if the grandchildren need
Some company so they're not alone

My love for you
Is just as true
But God gave me a job to do
I'll come back home
It won't be long
I'll lay you down and play your song
I'll come back home
It won't be long
I'll lay you down and play your song
