about

A strong family, solid roots, and just enough courage to walk out that door. Old Oak Tree tells a story about where one woman found her strength.

lyrics

Hands on hips
She’s got too much going on
But the sun has halfway set
The curtain’s halfway drawn
With a twinkle in her eye
And a good stiff double shot of rye…

Nobody
No, nobody
Gonna hold her back, throw her off the track,
you’ll see
She got her roots from her mother,
She’s like an old oak tree

Had to fight him off
He never saw much of this grit
But the grass had overgrown
The house crumbling bit by bit
With a steely look at him
As she walked on by the light getting dim…

She knew nobody
No, nobody
Gonna hold her back, throw her off the track
you’ll see
She’s got good roots from her father
That old oak tree

She doesn’t want to face it alone
It would just be easier
to stay the hell at home
She should just fall back and surrender
She can do all this on her own
Build her happy home
Leave him in the dust.
on that road she’s outgrown.

Looking back now
She knows she pulled a royal flush
The choice she made that day
Lead her to a gold rush
Without a second thought of him,
She knows the day she left she played to win

She knew that nobody
Yeah, nobody
Was gonna hold her back, throw her off the track,
you’d see
She knew nobody,
Oooh nobody
Was gonna hold her back, throw her off the track,
You see
She had the roots from her family,
She’s like an old oak tree.
