Those pines stretching high
On Louisiana's sky
Take me back in time to those pines
Those pines know my footprint well
Walked along my life long trail
Heaven knew how much I miss
I tempted my first kiss
Well I lay with him in those pines above
Realizing my first love
I only got my heart broken
It's nothing like it should have been
Those pines stretching high
On Louisiana's sky
Take me back in time to those pines
I got word about a telephone call
My Mama wasn't good at all
So I got there as fast as I could
To only touch her coffin wood
So I drove straight up Benton Road
To find those pines and ease my soul
My heart swollen with a heavy load
Pines whisper and just let go
Those pines stretching high
On Louisiana's sky
Take me back in time to those pines
My secrets still remain inside
Pines don't tell and they don't lie
They recognize me through and through
Somehow know what I should do
Still standing tall until this day
Seem to make it being okay
Those pines stretching high
On Louisiana's sky
Take me back in time
To those pines to those pines
To those pines, to those pines
