Clinton Collins & The Creekboys: Music

• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Throughout life, it's so easy to overlook the treasures and gems that are before us. We're easily seduced by the busyness of life and the journey becomes a burden. The child like wander is forgotten and lost on the way. Kick a few stones over to find the beauty of life awaiting you on your own journey.

Black crow flying above the pines
Creek bed is dry only puddles to find
Sun is baking the blacktop road
Heat rising at the fishing hole

Breaking bottles along the ditch
Found a hubcap and I struck it rich
Caught a ride into town to catch a show
I met little Julie at the old drug store

Young eyes still wander at this little blue earth
Old eyes still ponder for all it’s worth
Treasure to find under every stone
You got to dig a little deeper on the long journey home

Baby smiling at a mystery
Dog barking in the distance like a melody
Porch swing lovers steal a kiss
Street congregation in the mist

Darkness strays as the night sky glows
Catch a firefly and let it go
In the tall grass smell the meadows perfume
As summer fades beneath the midnight moon

Chorus
