about

I wrote this song quite a number of years ago when I first started going to renaissance faires in Texas. One day, when I dressed as a girl from the country, I had a real feeling of doing something an ancestor might have done, too.

lyrics

There’s an old country road where my grandfather stood
And an old country flower that brightened the air
There’s an old country song that my heart has always known
And it’s calling me home to the old country fair.
When I see the sun that shines, well I know its shining there
And all the breezes that do blow also kiss its valleys rare
And that old country song that my heart has always known
It keeps calling me home,
Yes, it’s calling me home,
Oh, it’s calling me home to the old country fair.

When I turn and look behind down the path that others walked
And I see the footsteps there, hear the echoes of their talk
And the melody’s the one that my heart has always known
And it’s calling me home to the old country fair.
When I see the sun that shines, well I know its shining there
And all the breezes that do blow also kiss its valleys rare
And that old country song that my heart has always known
It keeps calling me home,
Yes, it’s calling me home,
Oh, it’s calling me home to the old country fair.
