Old Croy Road - American Steel

When I lost my dad, I was ten years old

Had a heart filled with venom and poisonous tongue

Hated everything about the whole damn world

Mom was tough as they come and she held us close

Tried to raise us to the standards of his ghost

It was hard on her, guess it was hard on us too

But when some had no one, we had a village to get us through

Years have flown by

Somehow we’ve survived

Somewhat broken hearted

But willing enough to try

Tell me that you’ll be there

And we’ll hear dance music from down below

Walking arm in arm through the summer air

With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road

We lost my dad when I was ten years old

I got his record collection and stereo console

I learned every word, sang every line

Trying to find the man I was sure was hidden inside

Let’s breathe the summer air

Dance underneath the moonlight

We’ll steal kisses under the oaks

And I’ll be loving life

Tell me that you’ll be there

And we’ll hear dance music from down below

Walking arm in arm through the summer air

With drinks in hand at the end of old Croy Road

We lost my dad when I was ten years old

I got his record collection and stereo console

I learned every word, sang every line

It’s the old songs and old friends that have kept me alive

Let’s breathe the summer air

Dance underneath the moonlight

We’ll steal kisses under the oaks

And I’ll be loving life
