"Barefoot Running (Hallelujah)" lyrics

Take me back to that hallelujah
When we were just barefoot running
I pray one day that I'll come back to ya
I wouldn't trade that life for nothing

Well you can go and find me by the cottonwood trees
Where the creek winds back and the birds live free
While back home songs clear my mind
Ain't a view I'd rather see in my passenger seat
Than a couple tackle boxes and a cooler packed deep
But lately for me that's hard to find

'Cause I've been working around that clock for more than just money
Giving this damn job all I got for nothing
They say you need to get back to your roots
Before this lifestyle gets the best of you

So take me back to that hallelujah
When we were just barefoot running
I pray one day that I'll come back to ya
I wouldn't trade this life for nothing
So take me back to that hallelujah
When we were just barefoot running
I pray one day that I'll come back to ya
I wouldn't trade this life for nothing
Take me back to that hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Take me back to that hallelujah, mmm

Who knows if I'll pass the state of mind I'm in
I'm told, just give it time, my friend
So if you're looking for me, spot the cottonwood trees
Left the porch light on, everybody can see

That I'm back to my hallelujah
Now we're all barefoot running
Always knew that I'd come back to ya
Wouldn't trade this life for nothing
Now I'm back to my hallelujah
Where we're all barefoot running
Always knew that I'd come back to ya
Wouldn't trade this life for nothing
Take me back to that hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Take me back to that hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
(Take me back to that hallelujah, mmm)
