Jay Padgett - Darbywood Lyrics

Gonna take a walk tonight
Underneath the stars
The humidity is high
So I won't get far

The crickets are a-singing
As the fireflies light
Mosquitos are a-stinging
Looking for a fight

There's no place I'd rather be

Than Darbywood, Darbywood
Where weeds stand guard
In our big back yard
And the grandkids play
Every sunny day

In Darbywood, Darbywood
Where wildflowers grow
And the creek runs slow
And the rabbits run
In the evening sun
In Darbywood

Was gonna take a walk tonight
But I'll sit instead
I'm gonna try to write
The song that's in my head

Some squirrels are a-flying
From the walnut tree
The turkey and the deer
Are running from me

But there's no place I'd rather see

Than Darbywood, Darbywood
There's a welcome mat
For the neighbor cat
And an exit sign
For the mole to find

In Darbywood, Darbywood
Where an old raccoon
By a full blue moon
Finds a skunk with food
In a sharing mood
That's Darbywood

There's no place I'd rather be
And there's no place I'd rather see

Than Darbywood, our life is good
Where the neighbors talk
On their evening walk
And the HOA
Is A-OK

In Darbywood, yeah Darbywood
There I get a thrill
Going up the hill
Where I'll join my wife
And our happy life

If you've never been you should

Come to Darbywood, Darbywood
There's an old stone wall
That will never fall
By a redbud grove
That is free to rove

In Darbywood, Darbywood
I will lay my head
On my king size bed
From dusk till dawn
Till God calls me on

From Darbywood, Darbywood
From Darbywood, Darbywood
From Darbywood, Darbywood
From Darbywood, Darbywood
