From
old
Savannah
you
can
drive
two
hundred
miles
Or
from
Atlanta,
just
about
two
hours
time
To
the
plains
where
I
was
born
Where
my
daddy
had
a
farm
The
year
of
nineteen-twenty-four
There’s
not
an
acre
any
sweeter
on
this
earth
Than
the
land
we
ran
barefoot
in
every
summer
Me
and
A.D.
had
it
all
We’d
walk
the
rails
and
we’d
never
fall
We
lived
our
boyhoods
in
the
Georgia
sun
For
years
I’d
dream
upon
the
gleaming
silver
tracks
With
the
Seaboard
Airline
Railroad
winding
past
It
seemed
to
beckon
unto
me
Like
falling
rain
to
the
fertile
land
I
dreamed
one
day
I’d
be a
traveling
man
And
the
train
rolled
right
past
our
front
door
Chugging
like
a
dream
a
young
farm
boy
could
not
ignore
Blow
like
wind
across
the
prairie
to
the
sea
Calling
to
the
young
boy
and
the
old
man
in
me
 I
grew
up
and
I
became
a
Navy
man
Then
I
asked
my
lovely
Rosalynn
for
her
hand
Of
all
the
luck
I
ever
had
And
every
blessing
that
has
been
She's
the
truest
one,
oh,
my
gentle
loving
friend
I’d
live
it
all
with
you
if I
could
again
From
that
summer
day
in
Plains
we
said
I do
There
was
a
road
that
knew
my
name
-
and
calling,
too
First,
the
Mansion
of
the
Governor
Then
the
House
of
Gleaming
White
A
light
on
Pennsylvania
Avenue

I remember waking up on that first day I looked around the very house where Lincoln stayed And I turned to my sweet Rosalynn For we knew each other’s mind How could God dream for us such a life? And the train rolled right past our front door Chugging like a dream a young farm boy could not ignore Blow like wind across the prairie to the sea Calling to the young boy and the old man in me Now, over thirty years I’m blessed to live this way Around the world they open doors and call my name Build a home for some cold family Or a bridge in the Middle East The work is never done We cannot give up on peace Take another breath my friends 'Cause here we go again Children, sow the seeds of love in all you do You never will regret a life that love runs through Put no walls around your heart Let no one tell you who you are It’ll unfold, all inside you that is gold And all your mysteries That you think you want to know Will make you smile one day When you’re growing old  And the train rolled
right past our front door Chugging like a dream a young
farm boy could not ignore Blow like wind across
the prairie to the sea Calling to the young boy
and the old man in me● Watch the video
