Sit Awhile

F C C I take this walk once a week G Cool my beer in a runnin' creek Am F Take the boots off my feet and sit awhile C With my back against an old oak tree G I close my eyes, pretend it speaks Am F And tell it all my troubles and my dreams Am If this tree could talk F It'd say hush up boy C Just be quite G Everything's gonna be alright Am And now son F Dry up those tears C And free your mind G From all those fears C And just sit awhile C I wipe away my last tear G And finish up my last beer Am F Put on my boots and leave with a smile C From these woods in the South G I head to an old brick house Am F Walk up on that porch and just sit awhile Am If this house could talk F It'd say hush up boy C Just be quiet G Everything's gonna be alright Am And now son F Dry up those tears C And free your mind G From all those fears C And just sit awhile F And now houses will crumble C And trees they fall down Am G But the empty spot in my heart still remains F That creek may stop runnin' C And I may leave this town Am G But the words in that stone will never change C So I take this drive when I'm weak G Late at night when I can't sleep Am F And turn your favorite station up real loud C Lean my headlights on your name G Then I kneel beside your grave Am F And start to pray, man it's been awhile Am If he could talk F He'd say hush up boy C Don't be scared G 'Cause I'm everywhere Am And now son F Dry up those tears C And close your eyes G 'Cause I'm right here C And let's sit awhile F Yeah let's sit awhile C Let's sit awhile
