RJ McClintock - Childhood Dreams Lyrics

Strolling down a Nashville sidewalk, sixteenth avenue
Wondering what in the world I'm doing this far from home and you
In the cool of the night, I hear the prairie winds calling me
Oh mother land of ours is trying to rescue us all from Tennessee
And from my motel room in the night on the west from security
Cause when sleep overcomes and my feelings succumb
I know right where I'll be

I dream of walking the lane to the boneyard
Singing an old country song
A sunflower stump or a daisy in my hand
Oh, rhinestone post and even centuries will guard my approach to the trees
As my route to the northwest forty call me back to my childhood dreams

I'll dream about mom and dad on the farm, brothers and sisters too
And all the crazy things of my childhood this country boy used to do
But most I'll dream of making love to you, the children of our own
It makes me want to come home and stroll the yellow brick road
Back to your loving arms

But I'll be walking the lane to the boneyard
Singing an old country song
A sunflower stump or a daisy in my hand
Oh, rhinestone post and even centuries will guard my approach to the trees
As my route to the northwest forty call me back to my childhood dreams
Yes, my route to the northwest forty will call me back to my childhood dreams
