On the Big Hill by the Old Red BarnA Poem by Bo LanierLooking back on the past ten years of my life I remember you and those wild and crazy days Growing up together in Clear View Montana We sure did have a lot to learn but the world was Already had already decided our fates and one Sad day in November my mama and daddy moved Us a thousand miles away from my childhood home And you... But I will never forget you and how every day after School you would wait for me ON THE BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN and finally one day when I was sixteen I let you kiss me and I felt as high As a kite on a cool windy autumn day oh 'cuz I'd Been kissed before but not in such a passionate way And as long as I live I'll never forget that day ON THE BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN and by the Time I was seventeen this is where we did come to Lay, dreaming the day away and you were my first Roll in the hay, ON THE BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN... Oh but I heard not too long ago they tore down That old red barn and built a Wal-Mart there, I know Things change but I still feel like sometimes life ain't Fair and to top it all off I heard you passed over a few Months ago, I tried not to let my sorrow show but Sitting here on my front porch swing down in New Orleans I can still see you as clear as day waiting For me to meet you as always... ON THE BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN, I wish I Had told you just how much I really loved you, as We would sit and talk about all the dreams we had Made, until the sun would set and we knew we Had to go home but we thought there was always Tomorrow, at least there was when we were kids and We used to run and play up ON THE BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN... Well I swear I'll never forget you and those sweet, Sweet happy days that still seems just like yesterday ON THE BIG HILL, UP ON THAT BIG, BIG HILL BY THE OLD RED BARN! © 2015 Bo Lanier |
