Old Oak Tree

There's an old oak tree at the edge of town Where I carved a name and I laid it down It's older now and so am I We've both been standing under the same sky Old oak tree, keep my secrets low Roots go deeper than the years I know Bend me, don't break me, teach me to be Steady as that old oak tree Storms came through and took the barn Took the fence and part of the farm But the branches held and the leaves came green Some quiet strength you never seen Old oak tree, keep my secrets low Roots go deeper than the years I know Bend me, don't break me, teach me to be Steady as that old oak tree Harmonica on the evening air I'll leave my worry there
