Well, the children come back to see the old homeplace They don't see a thing that they like The old well out back with its cool clear water Don't fit into their style of life The old gravel road that leads to the old homeplace Gets dust on their new shiny cars Well, they didn't complain about nothing to do Back when the old homeplace was new Back when the old homeplace was new There was plenty to see and to do But they can't remember and I ain't gonna tell 'em Back when the old homeplace was new There's an old swimming hole about a half mile away An' old tire still swings from a tree I've got an old jar full of lightening and bugs And a dogfishin' weren't just today They can't get on line from my old telephone And I ain't got no cable TV Oh, we used to tell stories and some of them true Back when the old homepclace was new Back when the old homeplace was new There was plenty to see and to do But they can't remember and I ain't gonna tell 'em Back when the old homeplace was new Well, the toys they treasured are stashed in the attic Except for a rusty old bike There's a big ball of string in a drawer in the kitchen They used to use flying their kites There's a battered old can out there by the toolshed An old can that they used to kick They sit on the porch and they stare down the driveway They just can't see living like this Back when the old homeplace was new There was plenty to see and to do But they can't remember and I ain't gonna tell 'em Back when the old homeplace was new © SONY/ATV ACUFF ROSE MUSIC; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
