The highway sign said the Georgia line
Was twenty miles away
So I thought I`d take a detour
And see the old home place
I could have found my way
With my eyes closed and in the dark
This ol` dirt road ain`t on no map
I knew the way by heart
And the house still looks the same
Though the name on that ol` mail box has been changed
And a tractor turn the earth
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
As the memories return and my eye began to burn
This ol` place has new faces in the fields
The rockin` chairs on the font porch
Move from a sudden wind
It`s almost like my mom and dad
Were sittin` there again
I hear my brother callin` from
His favorite climbin` tree
But I`m just hearin` echoes
Of how it used to be
And the house still looks the same
Though the name on that ol` mail box has been changed
And a tractor turn the earth
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
As the memories return and my eye began to burn
This ol` place has new faces in the fields
