[bodytext] => This old, country road before me,
Stretches far into my past, And I know its every stretch and curve, Though many years have passed. I look upon the old homestead, And see it hasn’t lost its charm. Smiling, I remember the good times, From when I lived upon this farm. More memories come flooding back, Carried, on the scent of fresh mowed hay, Like my mother in her garden, Working on a warm spring day. Of going out to pick berries, Late in the month of June, Or hauling grain to the elevator, Underneath a big ol’ harvest moon. Dressing warm on winter days, To go skating on the pond, Or nighttime sleigh rides, with a girl, Of whom I was extremely fond. I know that I can’t stay here, But I’m still longing to remain, As I walk along the fence line, Through the fields of golden grain. Suddenly, I realize a piece of me is always here, Where ever else it is I roam, Kept within the happy memories, Of my Alberta, country home.
