sideline (bluegrass) - long way from the wildwood flower lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
he wore overalls, boot hill topsoil on his collar
so i never took my grandpa for a poet or a scholar
but he planted seeds of wisdom in every row that he walked through
boy, i can’t believe what this world’s comin’ to

[chorus]
the world turned slower then, but the one we’re livin’ in
is a long way from wildwood flower

[verse 2]
a simple country life, he raised me from a baby
he always spoke in black and white, not much room for maybe
his handshake was a promise that he never failed to keep
and i guarantee my grandpa never lost a minute’s sleep

[chorus]
the old way’d show you how, but the way we’re livin’ now
is a long way from wildwood flower

[bridge]
sometimes i hear a line that takes me back in time
somewhere in my mind i’ve always been
but it’s not that far, i take his old guitar
and play the melody once again
[verse 3]
now that old cotton row is a muddy four+lane highway
there wouldn’t be much progress if i had it my way
this old world keeps movin’ like a reckless midnight train
and underneath the rumble, i still hear him say

[chorus]
“just because it’s movin’ fast doesn’t mean it’s gonna last;
it’s a long way from wildwood flower.”
