Carter County Sky
There's a small farm down in Southern Oklahoma
Where my memory takes me all the time
The seeds of my soul are planted deep there
In those fields beneath that Carter County sky
We used to skinny dip down at the river
Steal farmer Taylor's melons off the vine
I remember running barefoot through the meadow
In the wind beneath that Carter County sky
(Chorus)
The years have flown away they're gone forever
But thank the Lord those memories never die
What I'd give to relive just one hour
Of life beneath that Carter County Sky
(Inst.)
The house is gone there's just a chimney standing
A reminder of the warmth in days gone by
In the wind you can hear the echo of children laughing
Playing games beneath that Carter County sky
(Repeat Chorus)
Lord I miss that Carter County sky
