Sawmill Road by Diamond Rio

Lyrics:

Me and Billy Joe and Mary Beth

Were raised up on the path

of righteousness

Made a solemn vow that

we'd always be close

And never wander far from

Sawmill Road

As the years went by the

world began to change

One by one we outgrew

those childhood games

Momma cooked and cleaned

and worried 'bout our souls

We got into beer and cars

and rock 'n' roll

We knew Jesus was the answer

And Elvis was the king

Blue Suede Shoes and Rock of Ages

Were the songs we learned to sing

Innocence went out of style

And we just watched it go

Yesterday got left beneath

The dust on Sawmill Road

Billy Joe went to Saigon for Uncle Sam

Now I go to see him, he don't know who I am

One a year I get a card from Mary Beth

She's with husband number four somewhere out west

I still live in this old house where we were raised

On this red dirt road the county never paved

Now I watch my kids and worry 'bout their souls

And pray they'll never wander far from Sawmill Road

We knew Jesus was the answer

And Elvis was the king

Blue Suede Shoes and Rock of Ages

Were the songs we learned to sing

Innocence went out of style

And we just watched it go

Yesterday got left beneath

The dust on Sawmill Road

Me and Billy Joe and Mary Beth

Were raised up on the path of righteousness.

Reminds me of an old saw mill near Opelika, Alabama. We played on the mountain of saw dust. The dirt road my cousins lived on was red dirt. Roll Tide.

I got this Album back in 1992 for a Chrismas present. It's really funny to say "back in" because I was a little kid then. To hear this song after all these years have greatly reminded me how much the world has lost it's wholesome luster. Nothing but Reality tv and tasteless unappealing music. I miss the old CMT!!!

This has been my favorite song ever since I was a child. I owned the Close to the Edge album on cassette and listened to it so much I ruined it.

This song and also "Mama, Don't Forget To Pray for Me" are my favorite Diamond Rio songs. They reflect reaching back to good raising in a world where the devil trys so hard to destroy the good things. These songs have given hope to parents who have worried about their children being drawn to the wrong. Most of the time they come back to what they were taught if they had a good example. By the way, I had supper with Marty Roe in 1982 when we were both college students.
