Way Back Home
"This is just a song about what it used to be like to live life in America."
We'd turn off the TV when the anthem played, color bars on the screen
Johnny Carson and Justin Wilson teaching life the way it's been
Learned to sip wine, find Mardi Gras and beignets in a detour's embrace
With Jimmy's serenade guiding us, making memories we'd never replace
What the hell happened, where did it all go
Chasing sunsets from a time I used to know
Traded that old dirt road for a world so wide and grand
Now I'm just an old cowboy trying to find my way back to that land
George and Reba on the radio, Bocephus on a Saturday night
Me and Ray went out for a movie, ended up in New Orleans by daylight
Learned more on that trip than anywhere else, with the bayou calling our names
Left that simple life somewhere behind, but the memory still remains
What the hell happened, where did we go wrong
I'm still humming that old country song
Left that simple life somewhere in the dust and sand
Just an old cowboy trying to find my way back to that land
