Choctaw County

In Choctaw County just over the hill
A stone's throw away from where time it stood still
Down by the banks of the turkey pin creek
Down by the hickory where we used to meet

The years have passed by and the creek has run dry
And I keep holding on
To the love that I lost and the sleep that it cost
It might be time to move along

How did the days turn to years
Before I realized
Wasting my time with you
Would be the best days of my life
Oh what I'd do just to hear you
Calling my name through the pines
Left me full of regret when you packed up and left
Choctaw County, me and Choctaw County behind

Got both my boots and I packed up my hat
Loaded them up in the truck that's out back
Two in the bush or one in the hand
The choices you made I still don't understand

Now and again my thoughts wander back
To that old hickory where both of us sat
Oblivious to the world spinnin' around
If only that clock had just slown down

How did the days turn to years
Before I realized
Wasting my time with you
Would be the best days of my life
Oh what I'd do just to hear you
Calling my name through the pines
Left me full of regret when you packed up and left
Choctaw County (Choctaw County), me and Choctaw County behind
