Lyrics The Statler Brothers

The Statler Brothers

Carry Me Back

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

Is Jimmy through serving? Is Hitch with Uncle Sam?

Do the kids still spend Saturday nights drivin' 'round Hamburger Dance?

Did Jackie ever make it to the streets of Hollywood?

And Bobby I'd love to see him again and I would if I could

Carry me back and make me feel at home

Let me cling to those memories that won't let me alone

Where it was always summer and she was always kind

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

Does the preacher still visit when some poor soul gets down?

Do the stores still stay open on Friday nights downtown?

Is Jo Ann still as pretty as when she wore my high school ring

When you see her, tell her I said July 1959, she'll know what I mean

Carry me back and make me feel at home

Let me cling to those memories that won't let me alone

Where it was always summer and she was always kind

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time
