[Verse 1]
D G
Being young got old
A D
I couldn't wait to grow up
G
When I finally hit eighteen
A
I got out of this tired old town
D G
I didn't get back much
A D
As much as mama wanted
G
The few times I did get back
A
It didn't hit me like it did back then
[Chorus 1]
D
The house got small
G
Dad lost his hair
A D
The rope swing and the trees aren't there
G
The neighbor, she ain't sweet old Mrs
A
Jones
D G
Little sister's not right down the hall
A Bm7
Rex ain't around to fetch his ball
G D
No need to ride to grandma's down the
Em
road
G A D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home
D G A D
[Verse 2]
D G
It didn't take two weeks
A D
From the time the sign first went up
G
Dad said the folks who bought it
A
Sure do seem to love the place
D G
Mom called and I came
A D
To help her load the U-Haul
G
Seems for every box I pack
A
I find another yesterday
[Chorus 2]
D G
The house was huge and dad had hair
A D
There was a rope swing on the tree right there
G A
No one baked a pie like Mrs Jones
D G
And we grew like weeds on the kitchen wall
A Bm
Rex, he lived to fetch his ball
G D
And grandma was a bike ride down the
Em7
road
G A D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home
D G A
D G A
[Outro]
D G A
My sister's not right down the hall
A Bm A
Rex ain't around to fetch his ball
G D
No need to ride to grandma's down the
Em7
road
G A D
Damn old Father Time for stealing home
[Outro]
