"Alley Of The Oaks" lyrics

I went down to the alley of the oaks
Lookin' for a little tour
Saw everything there was to see
But she left me wantin' more
Yes, she left me wantin' more

People came from all around
Bought some history
But their smiles turned to frowns
When they found they'd been deceived
Yeah, they found they'd been deceived

But she never said a word
Never said a word
Never said a word

I was walkin' around thinkin' about
Persistence and bravery
I saw somethin' hangin' out
Wavin' right back at me
It was wavin' right back at me

Tried to swallow all my thoughts
When I heard them singin' in the fields
Tried to speak, but no words came
I couldn't believe it was real
No, I couldn't believe it was real

But she never said a word
Never said a word
Never said a word

Ran away from big boss man, tryin' to be free
Never thought he'd be the one creatin' history

Well I went down to the alley of the oaks
My gun pointed to the sky
Shot off one for all of those
Who managed to defy, yeah
Well, they managed to defy

But she never said a word
Never said a word
Never said a word
