Backstory:

Was thinking about a guy reminiscing on his dad's work and lessons in life                                                                                                          

Lyrics:

                                                  
Clear the Stones Away		Words and Music ©  Jim Karns


Lookin out across the field
my daddy used to plow
it’s all built up with houses
but I stop there anyhow  
close my eyes and think back to
the way things used to be
and sometimes I could swear he's there
sittin’ next to me

CHORUS

	That field my daddy cleared		
	carried those stones 'n stacked them one by one
	he weren't afraid of workin 
	he'd stay out there all day in the Georgia sun
	and the words that he told me I can hear them to this day
	If you want to till the land
	you got to clear the stones away


Way down past the last house
It’s kinda hard to see
a pile of stone sets neatly there
that he layed real carefully
His hands had touched every one 
I reached and touched one too
(I said) Hey dad are you standin there
Cuz it sure feels like you

BRIDGE

	Like a picture that I come across
	or my favorite country songs
	thoughts of him still take me back
	and his memory lingers on      

CHORUS

END
