Back When The Old Homeplace Was New
Lyricist:Tom T. Hall
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
