The highway sign said the Georgia line
|
Was twenty miles away
|
So I thought I'd take a detour
|
And see the old home place
|
I could have found my way
|
With my eyes closed and in the dark
|
This ol' dirt road ain't on no map
|
I knew the way by heart
|
|
And the house still looks the same
|
Though the name on that ol' mail box has been changed
|
And a tractor turn the earth
|
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
|
As the memories return and my eye began to burn
|
This ol' place has new faces in the fields
|
|
The rockin' chairs on the font porch
|
Move from a sudden wind
|
It's almost like my mom and dad
|
Were sittin' there again
|
I hear my brother callin' from
|
His favorite climbin' tree
|
But I'm just hearin' echoes
|
Of how it used to be
|
|
And the house still looks the same
|
Though the name on that ol' mail box has been changed
|
And a tractor turn the earth
|
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
|
As the memories return and my eye began to burn
|
This ol' place has new faces in the fields
