lyrics

Whispering Pines
By Rick Nagy

We moved back to the mountains to escape the city life. Too much sin and temptation for a Christian man and wife. The path of the straight and narrow won't be marked with neon signs so we moved back to the mountains beneath the whispering pines.

Now those whispering pines are spreading rumors. They say you want to leave here and go back to where you can find a life of raising cane in honky tonks and swimming whiskey rivers. Don't tell me that it's only in my mind, I heard it from the whispering pines.

We built us a little cabin and cleared a couple of acres. By day I worked the fields by night down in the mines. I thought this honest way of living would make you sanctified and happy raising kids like maw and pappy beneath those whispering pines.

Now those whispering pines are spreading rumors. They say you want to leave here and go back to where you can find a life of raising cane in honky tonks and swimming whiskey rivers. Don't tell me that it's only in my mind, I heard it from the whispering pines.
Don't tell me that it's only in my mind, I heard it from the whispering pines.
