lyrics

Pleasant View Lane
KentAgee/TammyRogers

In the beginning was a red-dirt road
Purple iris and a crawdad hole
Three little houses pretty near the same
In the beginning there was Pleasant View Lane
I was a cowboy I was Superman too
Saving the neighbor girl is what I’d do
Then I’d jump on my bike and hear my theme-song play
Ride into the sunset on Pleasant View Lane

So take my hand, life may change
While we can let’s walk together down Pleasant View Lane

I remember the summer when the shop closed down
We moved into a duplex in the heart of town
The little patch of sky we had was still as blue
We just couldn’t see as far as we used to
Black-top streets they tore the world apart
Seems like all you see is cold and hard
You grow too fast when everything is gray
You grow too fast away from Pleasant View Lane

(chorus)

Everything looked better, everything looked bright
Wheat-field freedom in the daytime, my mother’s lullabies at night
The road across forever was never far away
It ran right down the middle of Pleasant View Lane

(chorus)
