A Fine Place to Start

Verse 1
I grew up in Roboda, built by Roy, Bob, and Dave
Catchin' fish in Johnson’s Pond
Let ’em go to catch another day
Climbin' trees with my best friend
Those summer days never seemed to end
Up in that mulberry tree
My friend, the birds, and bumble bees
I know down in my heart
sure was a fine place to start

Chorus
I'm still that little boy,
With just more weight to carry now
Though time has crossed lines upon my brow
I can still smile like then
Like I did when I was ten.

Verse 2
We could play long and late
Through those warm summer nights
Finding our way by the fireflys’ lights
She took my hand and led me down
Through those golden lit woods
Kissed our first kisses
Where that big old oak tree stood
I know down in my heart
Sure was a fine place to start
