Memories Back In Time Lyrics

He was eighty-nine and his memory would drift to his home of long ago

He said he could see it there and hear his kin

I guess that's how the story goes

Of his Memories Back In Time

Down an old dirt road sits an old family farm

A place where his childhood memories were made

All alone it sits nobody living in there in that place

All the kin folks have long since gone away

He would tell me he could see that farm the way it use to be

Said his family was so special then

Nothing like it was today

And so the story still goes

Two old folks held their family close

Until the day they passed away

His memories took him back every now and then

He would hear the words the old folks would say

Work hard and earn your pay

Don't let anyone get in your way

Be an honest man

Don't cheat don't steal

Go to church and live God's will

Love your family and thank God for them every day

Down an old dirt road sits that old farm

Where did all the kin folks go

He would often say he's see's

Two old folks sitting in their rocking chairs

Shelling peas and talking about tomorrow

Said he sure would have liked to know

What it was they said about tomorrow

A while back the old boy passed away

I guess he's sitting there now

With them two old folks

I bet their talking about tomorrow

Down an old dirt road sits an old farm

I guess It'll never be the same again

He couldn't change time

Oh how he wished he could

But he taught me good

Hold your family close

Thank God for them

And never forget about your

Memories Back In Time
