Home Ain't the Way it Used to Be (4:34)

Verse 1- Mom and Daddy worked real hard
Brothers, sisters too
We didn't have much, but somehow we got through
We left home and went away left our childhood memories there
Now Momma’s resting in the grave and Daddy’s still there

Chorus
Home ain't the way it used to be
Things just ain't the same
Ain’t the same
Home ain't the way it used to be
As it was when I was a boy

Verse 2- I remember getting up in the morning
When the roosters start to crow
Walk barefoot across the ridge to that one-room school
Remember crying to momma about my bibbed overalls
So many holes in the legs I couldn't get ‘em on

Chorus
Home ain't the way it used to be
Things just ain't the same
Ain’t the same
Home ain't the way it used to be
As it was when I was a boy

Verse 3- Sometimes I travel down to the old homeplace
To see my brothers sisters and Daddy’s wrinkled face
We’d recall the old days when we were growing up
Now home just ain't the same as it was when I was young

Chorus
Home ain't the way it used to be
Things just ain't the same
Ain’t the same
Home ain't the way it used to be
As it was when I was a boy
As it was when I was a boy
