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 SongtexteThough 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
