Shade Tree

Underneath the shade tree
Are the roots that shaped me
In the backyard of the farm town that raised me
I carved my name in it
Hid out from the rain in it
I learned to love this life the good Lord gave me
Underneath the shade tree

Saved the world a time or 2
Just through conversation
Got my long neck and a long cut
Wintergreen education
Skinned my first buck, had a first fight
Kissed a first love bout a million times
Living that bare feet, honeysuckle sweet best life

Underneath the shade tree
Are the roots that shaped me
In the backyard of the farm town that raised me
I carved my name in it
Hid out from the rain in it
I learned to love this life the good Lord gave me
Underneath the shade tree

Daddy cried when our lab died
I helped him dig the hole
I learned to throw a 4 seam fastball
Through a Goodyear on a rope
I was Peyton Manning
I was Chipper Jones
It was 3 and 2
It was 4th and 1
Where momma sipped her sweet iced tea
Hiding from the summer sun

Underneath the shade tree
Are the roots that shaped me
In the backyard of the farm town that raised me
I carved my name in it
Hid out from the rain in it
I learned to love this life the good Lord gave me
Underneath the shade tree
Underneath the shade tree

When my ticket's punched, my days are done
And he says, son, good work
Y'all stand around, throw your roses down
And cover me in dirt
Underneath the shade tree
You know where to lay me
Underneath the shade tree
Underneath the shade tree
Underneath the shade tree
