Springtime is here, and the wind from the south

Blows strong and warm to clean out your house

The sun has arisen and the lies that were told are

Driven outside with the freezing cold

I can remember a spring just like this

I was 19 yrs. old

Now the time is sorely missed

The first year that I left my mother's house

Out to make my way in this world somehow

I can't believe how the times they have changed

All the dreams that came true still seem so far away

I remember the days sittin' on the front porch

With the sun beatin' down in my neighborhood

I'd sit out all night singin' songs to the moon

Or try and get some sweet honey back to my bedroom

My friends they were few but to me they were true

All we was trying to do was just to make it through

Always thought for the future, but we shouldn't have cared

All the best things in life we shared them right there

So to all those old friends God be with them

I wish, I wish I could see you again

In the same corner bar where it all started from

Dig your plow so deep now the stars have all gone

So wherever they shine may it be warm and bright

Out to ease my mind on this worried night

It all seems so simple and good tidings I send

I'll never forget that one year that we spent
