If I Could Just Go Back
If I could just go back in time
To a place in my life that was so sublime
My Grandfather's farm on a warm summer day
The sweet smell of lilacs and fresh cut hay
If I could just go back in time
The smell of fresh laundry out on the line
Blackberry cobbler and fresh baked bread
Homemade ice cream and before we went to bed
If I could just go back in time
The taste of fresh strawberries right off the vine
Cat Hollow creek, that big swimming hole
Me and my brothers and our old cane poles
If I could just go back in time
To a place in my life that was just yours and mine
A small southern Chapel
the vows that we say
My beautiful wife on our wedding day
If Icould just go back in time
To the joy and happiness I left behind
If just for a moment, I'd give my last dime
If I could just go back in time
