The OId Trail Songtext
von Don Williams

There′s a new ridge road, that cuts the mountain to the bone
Slices through the woods, like there ain't nobody home
You can wheel on up to valley view; you′ll never feel the climb
Oh, but I'll take the old trail every time

The old trail, just moseys right along
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
And the wind through the trees, carries her own wind chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

Lately it seems, things vanish by degrees
How soon we forget, we made our tree houses out of trees
When we gonna realize, some reasons just don′t rhyme
Yeah, I take the old trail every time


The old trail, now may she never fade
The one where the deer always have the right of way
How I love to watch the wintergreen, along the timber line
Yeah, I′ll take the old trail every time

People in cars
Let the radio do the talking
But I always find
That I'm singing when I′m walking

The old trail, just moseys right along
Moves at the speed of a sweet love song
And the wind through the trees, carries her own wind chimes
Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time

I take the old trail every time
