Shady Groove Lyrics - J. J. Cale

Down the road, and up the hill 

Round the bend, and behind the mill 

When just a kid I used to go 

To a place called shady grove 

That is where I first met her 

She changed my life with one just one word 

She called it love but I don't know 

I call it goin' down to shady grove 

Shady grove, shady grove 

In the middle of shady grove 

Sometimes we'd steal away at night 

All the same the feel was right 

There was no city, there was no town 

'cause shady grove was all around 

We'd just lay down look up and see 

The vast expanse of the old, old tree 

When our love had turned to lust 

Shady grove would cover us 

Shady grove, shady grove 

In the middle of shady grove 

No one would ever come by 

We were young and very shy 

It seemed to wrap around us both 

The place we called shady grove 

Not long ago to my surprise 

I seemed to have to go back 

I went back to that same old spot 

The trees were gone - it's a parking lot 

Shady grove, shady grove 

In the middle of shady grove
