Lyrics
AUGUST MOON
By the light of this August moon,
I want to drive my baby home,
Through the crooked highways and empty fields,
Past dirt roads and lonesome timber.....
Through the darkened streets of boarded-up windows,
And away from all the things,
I'm tryin' hard not to remember....
Chorus:
Well, if you see her, tell her I'm tryin' hard,
to find my way back home,
I know I've been away so long....
Sometimes you run from what you love,
And hide from what you know....
Oh..the things I didn't tell her,
And all the things I could not show.
Maybe she's walking in the sun,
Past the silos and railroad tracks,
To her grandma's house where we sat on the front porch,
and watched the cars go by...
Her brown hair flowin' in the breeze,
Oh, she's all I ever wanted....
I know she's all I'll ever need.
Chorus:
And if you see her, tell her I'm tryin' hard,
to find my way back home.
I know I've been away so long....
Sometimes you run from what you love,
And hide from what you know....
Oh..the things I didn't tell her,
And all the things I could not show.
