Erath Old Releases 'Oakwood Avenue' A Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane

"American Country singer-songwriter Erath Old releases 'Oakwood Avenue' his 6th song of 2024. His new song captures the essence of growing up in a small town, filled with summer adventures, late-night escapades, and the timeless bonds of childhood friendships. 'Oakwood Avenue' is a nostalgic anthem that transports listeners back to the carefree days of adolescence spent on the same street where every corner held a cherished memory. It’s catchy and infectious like your favorite radio hits. The heartfelt  storytelling makes for an epic adventure much like watching a modern day Sandlot or Goonies movie.

LYRICS:

Best friends same street
Running through a ball field in the summer heat
We’d go swimmin’ just to look at girls at the pool

Backyard Boy Scouts
Planning our Saturday night hangouts
We’d smoke cigarettes behind the old middle school

Yeah what it was to be so young, acting like we were so cool, but that was

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
The best of friends, we didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up, 
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

The first car, the first date
Rushing home two hours too late
We were caught parked sneaking out like fools

Yeah we were high on life making up our own rules

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
The best of friends, we didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up, 
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

When I go back I rewind
I replay 16 in my mind
I wish I could roll back the years and live it one more time 

Growing up in a small town
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
We’d hit it hard then we’d burn it down
There wasn’t nothing we wouldn’t do
Thought we were big and bad, shoving our weight around
Best friends, who didn’t have a clue
But that was, that was growing up, 
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue

Yeah that was, that was growing up, 
Yeah growing up 
Yeah that was, that was growing up,
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
Oakwood Avenue
Growing up on Oakwood Avenue
