Hayride Memories

Remembering that dark and scary night in 1972 Alabama

Unveiling the Heartbeat of 'Hayride Memories'

‘Hayride Memories’ is a song that I wrote while remembering a fun night that we had when we lived in Selma, Alabama (stationed there with the Air Force) back in 1972.

We went with some new friends from church to the farm of a member who lived out in the boondocks.  He pulled the hay wagon with his tractor.  It was a perfect Haloween ride:  spooky, foggy, and dark.  Great fun!

Hayride Memories

Lyrics by Norm Garrett

Verse 1

That foggy night in Alabama
in the dark and forboding savannah
We took a ride in the countryside
The wind in our hair and panorama

Verse 2

There was a full moon that night
And the whole world turned alight
The hay wagon and the fire dragon
Came back and brought us right

Chorus

Sweet creek, rambling along
We drove by the water strong
On the hayride that haloween
The mist as if we were in a dream

Verse 3

As the ride was coming to an end
We said goodbye to all our friends
We jumped down from that wagon so high
And felt the chill that the breeze did send

Verse 4

Remembering now that fun-filled eve
Is something I just can’t believe
How scary, how frightful
We didn’t know what’s make believe

Chorus

Sweet creek, rambling along
We drove by the water strong
On the hayride that haloween
The mist as if we were in a dream
