Lyrics
I can still see that crooked clothes line Sheets blowing in the warm sunshine Grandpa with his fiddle on the front porch swing I can still recall those sweet melodies.... and memories Putting pennies on the railroad tracks Watching old number eight mash em" flat Picking teams for a baseball game Night fishing in the muddy lake A new tractor was the talk of the town A crowd gathered just to see how she'd plow I've left that simple life miles behind But I still go back sometimes...On a backroad in my mind Holidays were a favorite time Easter morning found us waiting in a line Outside the churchhouse in our Sunday's best Doors would open... and we'd march up the steps Preacher taught me about Jesus His daughter taught me about first love I still go back there every once in a while Yeah ...I still drive by...On a backroad in my mind Out on this highway Life goes by ...in the blink of an eye So now and then I take a detour To a place where precious memories still flood my mind I woke up from a dream last night Could've swore I heard the sound of sweet music Grandpa"s fiddle in the moonlight
