Little Tree, Little Mountain
There’s a little tree
There’s a little mountain
And I keep them in my heart
They protect me from the downtown
Where the streetlamps pull me apart
There’s a little tree, there’s a little mountain
And a river that’s deep and wide.
And they keep me high on the banks here
Or I’d be drowning on the other side
There’s a little tree, there’s a little mountain
And they are closer than you know
Old foundation, four walls around us
All are built from the plank and stone
Of the little tree, oh the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
Yes they make this happy home, dear
Where we stay so safe inside
So now don’t fear your final passage
When you have to walk out alone
Just keep the boulder at your shoulder
And the branches where you can hold
Hold the little tree
And hold the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
And the sunlight, that’s all around you
Will take you smiling to the other side
You’ll see the little tree
You’ll see the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
And the sunlight all around you
Will take you smiling to the other side
Yes, the sunlight that’s all around you
Will keep you smiling on the other side

Learn To Write
What’s a girl to do these days
When a good man goes far away?
And he rolls that train of little kisses
Leaves her waving in the distance
She’s the one who lived alone with a loaded gun
And a bag of bones
But now he’s got her, so unarmed
She’s still waving
And he’s gone
Oh, oh, oh,
You should learn to write
Oh, oh, oh,
You should learn to write
My Grandpa he went to war
And wrote a letter in North Africa that said:
‘Here’s a rose pressed flat inside, won’t you hold it my sweet bride?
I still don’t know how you’re my wife
But I think of you, I think it saves my life.’
Oh, oh, oh,
You should learn to write
Most good things are slow
You should learn to write
So mothers’ teach your sons to communicate
How can a boy with such perfect lips
Underestimate the perfect kiss
In a message that is just from his
Pen
Oh, when will you write?
Oh, oh, oh,
You should learn to write
Most good things are slow
You should learn to write
Oh, oh, oh,
You should learn to write
Most good things are slow
I wish that you would write

Move Back to the Country
Here’s a little song about going up the lake
Getting sand in your pockets and the little kids say
Let’s move back to the country
Move back to the country
Sand in your pockets and fishing at the lake
Don’t worry about the money
That your never gonna make
Just move back to the country
Baby wants to move back to the country
Momma gonna move back to the county
Daddy better move back to the county
Running down the road when the horses get away
Don’t worry about the money
That you’re never gonna make
Just move back to the county
Tell me a tale in the back of a truck,
Willow branch hits your face and your hat falls off
Let’s move back to the country
Move back to the county
Flat out of gas but chock full of luck
It’s a nice long walk in the sweet summer hush
Let’s move back to the country
Baby wants to move back to the country
Momma gonna move back to the county
Daddy better move back to the county
Running down the road when the horses get away
Don’t worry about the money
That you’re never gonna make
Just move back to the county
Baby wants to move back to the country
Momma gonna move back to the county
Daddy better move back to the county
Sand in your pockets and fishing at the lake
Don’t worry about the money
That you’re never gonna make
Just move back to the county
Move back to the country
Move back to the country
Move back to the country
