	Story Behind the Song Recorded at Okie Acres Studio & Smokehouse Studio - Nashville, TN Produced by: Lonnie Ratliff & Erin Hay Engineer: Craig Stahl Guitars: Vaughn Lofstead Bass: Fiddle: Jim Unger Drums: Steve Holland Steel Guitar: Perley Curtis Harmony: Perley Curtis Lyrics THE TREE A little girl with a pretty smile ran across the field To a barn where her grandpa worked makin' horseshoes out of steel He stood tall in her eyes, the heart of her world From this gentle man a family branched down to this little girl And the tree grew stonger every day Through the sons and daughters that he raised From the love and care that he gave The tree grew stronger everyday Her mama wiped the teardrops from her little girl's eyes On the day the heart of the world had died But Papa said little lady just look what he's left behind A tree of life with roots so deep it'll stand the sands of time (Repeat Chorus) (Bridge) As a woman she'd vist the house where she played as a child It was falling down weathered with time But through the cracks in the windows precious memories Of the old man buried beneath the tree (Repeat Chorus) Tag: The tree grows stronger everyday Writer: Bill Jackson Publisher: Okie Acres Music (BMI) / Carved In Stone Music (BMI)
