Being young got old I couldn´t wait to grow up When I finally hit eighteen I got outâ ofâ this tired oldâ town I didn´t get back much
As muchâ as mama wanted The few times I did get back It didn´tâhitâmeâlike it isâright now
The houseâgot small Dad lost his hair The rope swing and the trees aren´t there The neighbor, she ain´t sweet old Mrs. Jones Little sister´s not right down the hall Rex ain´t around to fetch his ball No need to ride to grandma´s down the road Damn old Father Time for stealing home
It didn´t take two weeks From the time the sign first went up Dad said the folks who bought it Sure do seem to love the place Mom called and I came
To help her load the U-Haul Seems for every box I pack I find another yesterday
The house was huge and dad had hair There was a rope swing on the tree right there No one baked a pie like Mrs. Jones And we grew like weeds on the kitchen wall Rex, he lived to fetch his ball And grandma was a bike ride down the road Damn old Father Time for stealing home
Little sister´s not right down the hall Rex ain´t around to fetch his ball No need to ride to grandma´s down the road Damn old Father Time for stealing home
