There's two trees in Becky Hill's front yard
One big, one small
That big oak has been thre for ages
And they planted that willow last fall
He bought it for their anniversary
Said they could watch it grow like their love
But each day she looks out the window
To see it not growing that much
Chorus
And she cries like that weeping willow
Every time the wind starts to blow
But one of these days she's gonna be strong
Strong like the oak
She hates the thought of leavin'
As much as she hates to stay
'Cause somewhere in her heart she still needs him
But not as much as she did yesterday
Chorus
She'll walk out that screen door and hold her head high
Won't look back, won't shed a tear
Right now she's afraid of being alone
But she's been alone for years
Chorus
Strong as an oak
