lyrics

Golden Dreams
H & S Owens

Come with me, let’s take a trip, back through time on a sailin’ ship
To a place where summer never ends and the wildflowers grow
There’s an ol’ farmhouse upon the hill, in my mind I can see it still
Starin’ out through the trees to the valley below.

My mother’s standin’ at the door, Dad’s down at the general store
Buying somethin’ that we need with his hard-earned pay
The mail is in, school is out, now we’re free to run about
Doing what we wanna do each and every day.

Oh I don’t know what it means
So simple now, it seems
It’s my childhood world of Golden Dreams…

Put on your hat, grab a pole, head on down to the fishin’ hole
Big ol’ catfish waitin’ there, I’m catchin’ him this time!
But somehow he always gets away, no matter what my friends might say
He’s so strong and moves so fast he always breaks the line.

-CHORUS-

Some days I had to help my Dad, back then it always made me mad
Stuck with him out in the fields while my brothers played
But he taught me things that I still know, things that help a child to grow
From a boy into a man…those lessons never fade.

-CHORUS-

Our Sundays, they were much the same, we’d go to church, I’d play the game
Countin’ spots upon the wall…I never reached the end
Put on your tie, don’t be late, sing the songs, pass the plate
It felt so good every week when the preacher said, “Amen.”

-CHORUS-

Now it’s time for us to go, before we get the winter snow
Covering up those summer days that I knew so well
But I can always journey back, walk on down that well-worn track
And let those memories in my mind cast their magic spell.
