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
