Joe Nichols - The Shade Lyrics






I don't want a fast car
don't need a four lane highway
There's not another place I'd rather be
'Cause out here in the country
Bluebirds sing for nothing
And the shade comes free with a tree
Yeah he shade comes free with a tree

The tree came with a mountain
Right beside the river where the ground makes one heck of a scene
The mountain counts for something, the view is worth a fortune
And the shade comes free with a tree
I never had a dollar that could buy me what i'm feelin'
But i'm feelin' 'bout as good as I can be
I need to be reminded when i'm lookin' for a bargain
Not to overlook what's right in front of me

I'll never make a killing trying to make a living
But I make enough to raise a family
I bought a piece of heaven off county road 11
Where the shade comes free with a tree
Yeah where the shade comes free with a tree

I never had a dollar that could buy me what i'm feeling
And i'm feeling 'bout as good as i can be
I need to be reminded when i'm lookin' for a bargain
Not to overlook what's right in front of me

I don't want a fast car
don't need a four lane highway
There's not another place i'd rather be
Down county road 11
There's this little piece of heaven
Where the shade comes free with a tree
Yeah where the shade comes free with a tree

Yeah the shad comes free with a tree

    thanks for posting this song, I haven't found it here until now.  Love it and country radio should've played this!

    Most underrated artist in Country music the last 12 years. Meanwhile garbage acts like Kenny Chesney, Kieth Urban and Blake Shelton get praised for sucking

    p.... ....

    +Brittany B Blake Shelton started out okay then sold out.
    Kenny was a pop act from the start. He's never been a genuine country music artist. It looks like we agree that Keith Urban has always been a borderline rock act. Joe Nicholas music has always felt smooth and genuine. Sure he's had a few songs aimed for modern crap radio but Kenny has made a career out of sell out, commercial, contemporary pseudo country right from the start, and has always acted like a Tim McGraw wannabe.
    His concerts are like rock shows. At least Garth who did rock type shows had an abundance of fiddles and steel guitars in much of his singles and albums.
