The Shade
The Oak Ridge Boys

I don't want a fast car, don't need a four lane highway

There's not another place I'd rather be

'Cause out here in the country blue birds sing for nothin'

And the shade comes free with the tree


The tree came with the mountain right beside the river

Where the ground makes one heck of a scene

The mountain counts for somethin', the view is worth a fortune

And the shade comes free with the tree


I never had a dollar that could buy me what I'm feelin'

But I'm feelin' 'bout as good as I can be


I need to be reminded when I'm lookin' for a bargain

Not to overlook what's right in front of me


I'll never make a killin' tryin' to make a livin'

But I make enough to raise a family

I found a piece of heaven off county road eleven

Where the shade comes free with the tree


And honey bring me some sweet iced tea
