Why Would You Go Back - Lyrics by Varnadeau Jeni


Lyrics
J. Varnadeau, R. Partin, P. Rogers            Galatians 3; 4:9; 5:1     There was an old woman who lived in a     shoe     Who told me a tale of a man she once     knew     He walked around town with a rock on his     shoulder     And each day she'd watch him growing     older     All that he knew was the life of his past     He couldn't move forward he kept looking     back     He carried this boulder just like his dad     used to do     He didn't know why, but he thought he     was supposed to     What else could he do?     CHORUS     Why would he go back to the burdens that     he knew before     Why would he go back when he could     walk in joy and freedom     He don't have to believe he was meant for     that     Why, why would he go back?     There's just one place where he'd lay the     stone down     At his friends glass house on the edge of     town     So he'd go visit and he'd be so glad     and rattle on and on about the good time     he had     Telling his friend as he'd head toward the     door     He wished his own life could be this way     more     As he leans down to pick up his stone
