Verse 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 the 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'll 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 a- long the timber lines Yeah, I'll take the old trail every time People in cars let the radios do the talkin' But I always find that I'm singin' when I'm walkin' 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'll take the old trail every time
