[Intro]
F C
[Verse 1]
I tCake this walk once a week
CGool my beer in a runnin' creek
Take the bAmoots off my feet and sit awhileF  
With my bCack against an old oak tree
I clGose my eyes, pretend it speaks
And tAmell it all my troubles and my dreamsF  
[Chorus]
If this tree could tAmalk
It'd say huFsh up boy
JuCst be quite
Everything's gonna Gbe alright
And now Amson
Dry uFp those tears
And fCree your mind
From aGll those fears
And just sit awhileC  
[Verse 2]
I wCipe away my last tear
And fiGnish up my last beer
AmPut on my boots and leave with a smileF  
FCrom these woods in the South
I hGead to an old brick house
WAmalk up on that porch and just sit awhileF  
[Chorus]
If this house could tAmalk
It'd say hFush up boy
JCust be quiet
Everything's gonna Gbe alright
And now sAmon
Dry Fup those tears
And fCree your mind
From aGll those fears
And just sit awhileC  
[Bridge]
And now hFouses will crumble
And tCrees they fall down
But the Amempty spot in my heart still reGmains
That cFreek may stop runnin'
And CI may leave this town
But the Amwords in that stone will never cGhange
[Verse 3]
So I tCake this drive when I'm weak
LGate at night when I can't sleep
And Amturn your favorite station up real loudF  
Lean Cmy headlights on your name
TGhen I kneel beside your grave
And Amstart to pray, man it's been awhileF  
[Chorus]
If he could tAmalk
He'd say hFush up boy
CDon't be scared
'Cause I'm evGerywhere
And now Amson
Dry Fup those tears
And Cclose your eyes
'Cause GI'm right here
And let's sit awhileC  
[Outro]
Yeah let's sit Fawhile
Let's sit awhileC

[Intro]

F C

[Verse 1]

I take this walk once a week

Cool my beer in a runnin' creek

Am F

Take the boots off my feet and sit awhile

With my back against an old oak tree

I close my eyes, pretend it speaks

Am F

And tell it all my troubles and my dreams

[Chorus]

If this tree could talk

It'd say hush up boy

Just be quite

Everything's gonna be alright

And now son

Dry up those tears

And free your mind

From all those fears

And just sit awhile

[Verse 2]

I wipe away my last tear

And finish up my last beer

Am F

Put on my boots and leave with a smile

From these woods in the South

I head to an old brick house

Am F

Walk up on that porch and just sit awhile

[Chorus]

If this house could talk

It'd say hush up boy

Just be quiet

Everything's gonna be alright

And now son

Dry up those tears

And free your mind

From all those fears

And just sit awhile

[Bridge]

And now houses will crumble

And trees they fall down

Am G

But the empty spot in my heart still remains

That creek may stop runnin'

And I may leave this town

Am G

But the words in that stone will never change

[Verse 3]

So I take this drive when I'm weak

Late at night when I can't sleep

Am F

And turn your favorite station up real loud

Lean my headlights on your name

Then I kneel beside your grave

Am F

And start to pray, man it's been awhile

[Chorus]

If he could talk

He'd say hush up boy

Don't be scared

'Cause I'm everywhere

And now son

Dry up those tears

And close your eyes

'Cause I'm right here

And let's sit awhile

[Outro]

Yeah let's sit awhile

Let's sit awhile
