[Intro]
Mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Verse 1]
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist
And flies on the butter
Mama baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
I heard her holler from the kitchen
"Which one of you youngins wants to lick the spoon?"
[Verse 2]
Yellow jackets on the watermelon, honeysuckle in the air
Daddy turning on the sprinkler
Us kids running through it in our underwear
Old dog nappin' on the front porch, his ear just a-twitchin'
Fell asleep on granddaddy's lap
To the sound of his pocket watch a-tickin'
[Chorus]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
Mm
[Verse 3]
Me and my best friend Jenny set up a backyard camp
Stole one of mama's mason jars
Poked holes in the lid and made a firefly lamp
Me and Billy Monroe, a-sneakin' down by the river
And I'm still haunted by the taste of the kiss
I was too scared to give him (Haha)
[Chorus]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
There's a blacktop road, a faded yellow centerline
It can take you back to the place
But it can't take you back in time
[Chorus]
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Woah, oh
Woah, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again
[Outro]
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist
And flies on the butter
