[Verse]

G

That old man sat down by his self

Cadd9 G

At the downtown cafe

Watching out a window

As a little boy played

G Cadd9

And he's reminded of the good times he had

G

When he was a kid

G

And oh how he wishes

D G G

He could just go back again

[Chorus]

Cadd9

Back when mama cooked all day

G

Over a hot old stove

Cadd9

And daddy loading up his truck

G D D

To go to the fishing hole

G

And that warm southern breeze

Cadd9 G

And that summer rowing

Cadd9 G D G G

Well things seemed so simple when you're just a little boy

[Verse]

G

He remembers the backyard swing

Cadd9 G

Where he used to play

And that old apple tree

D

That he climbed every day

G

And the sound his daddy's truck made

Cadd9 G

Pulling in the drive

Cadd9 G

Well Lord it's like he can see himself

D G G

Back home one more time
