Old Country Road
Prairie Anthem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All he had to offer her was a little of his time,
She said I′ll gladly take it, if you'll take some of mine
They spent that time together, alone
Learning each other on an old country road

Teased by the moon shinin′ above
Sharing their stories; falling in love
Small conversation and sweet circumstance
They found the rhythm of the young lovers dance

Without any money, time was all they had to spend
They would spend it together, until the end
Where you find love, you just never know
But, they found theirs on an old country road

He was kickin' a stone and hummin' a song
Actin′ a fool, as she played along
He was encouraged that she might be moved
She wasn′t certain, but she was amused

Without any money, time was all they had to spend
They would spend it together, until the end
Where you find love, you just never know
But, they found theirs on an old country road
Without any money, time was all they had to spend
They would spend it together, until the end
Where you find love, you just never know




But, they found theirs on an old country road
Ya, They found theirs on an old country road
