Song Lyrics by: Michael Sean Perry

{c: Verse 1:}

Was a tree down in Rabun Georgia

With our names carved in the bark

Was a place in my home

Where for months your love warmed my heart

Now it’s all burned to ashes

And left me sitting here in the dark

{c: Verse 2:}

Your love is so costly

But those cold nights come for free

Paid in full for every good feeling

Lover it wasn’t meant to be

One nickel left to my name

It’s staying right here with me

{c: Verse 3:}

You’ve been around a thousand times

You been so bad you had to change your name

Saw you down at the Pickin’ Parlor

On a mountain man feeling no shame

I got an axe to grind I am getting mine

Before I lay down in my grave

{c: Verse 4:}

Was a tree down in Rabun Georgia

With our names carved in the bark

Was a place in my home

Where for months your love warmed my heart

All the love we put to carving that tree babe

It’s keeping my cold feet so warm
