Lyrics
‘Round Ole Baugh Road, it’s a great place for kids to grow
Some grow up and move away
Most of us decide to stay
‘Round the Ole Baugh road
Hard-working mom and dad
Gave us things that they never had
In our corner of the world
Romance is slow for the boys and girls
‘Round the Ole Baugh Road
The neighborhood still looks the same
Just new kids with the same old names
My Baugh Road’s in a southern state
Yours may be anywhere, USA
Look around the Ole Baugh Road
Round Ole Baugh road, it’s a great place for kids to grow
Some grow up and move away
When most of us decide to stay
‘Round the Ole Baugh road
I see the kids on Ole Baugh road
I see the glory of the future glow
Look to the Heavens and give a shout
Like my daddy did when he started out
‘Round the Ole Baugh road
‘Round Ole Baugh Road, it’s a great place for kids to grow
Some grow up and move away
When most of us decide to stay
‘Round the Ole Baugh road
‘Round, ’round, ’round the Ole Baugh road
‘Round, ’round, ’round
‘Round, ’round, ’round
‘Round, ’round, ’round
The Ole Baugh road
‘Round, ’round, ’round
‘Round, ’round, ’round
‘Round, ’round, ’round
The Ole Baugh road
Oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Round, ’round, ’round
