Lyrics:
Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns of faith that made us strong
Ones
authorities 'til they capture me
And my aim is to spread mo' smiles than tears
Utilize lessons learned from my childhood years
Maybe Mama had it all right,
something from your childhood
You're thinking don't be frightened
You want to climb the ladder
You want to see forever
You want to go out Friday
storybook childhood was not make-believe
On the decks of a tall ship he was taught to achieve
Witnessed storms and starvation, natural wonders and force
In our childhoods days
Together we would play
People said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
My protective friend
He would always take
of sin, born as a ghetto child
Raised in this whirlwind (c'mon)
Our childhood years recall the tears heart laced with venom
Smokin' sherm, drinkin' malt
years
And the old home scenes of my childhood in fond memory appears
Precious memories how they linger
childhood memories
Are full of all the sweet things you did for me (I remember everything)
And even though I act crazy
I gotta thank the Lord that you made
The childhood memories I treasure
The most I suppose
Are the Saturday afternoons spent at
The town picture show
I worked all day long in the fields
on, you crazy diamond
You were caught in the crossfire
Of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come
Time has made a change
Since my childhood days
Many of my friends have gone away
Some I never more in this life shall see
Time has made a change in
to be moving fast
What happened to the nicities
Of my childhood days
Well I can't do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure
I'm doing the dad thing
I speak of wondrous unfamiliar lessons from childhood
Make you remember how to smile good
I'm pre-currency post-language,
heart turned wrong at the crossroads
And now as I go home, I bring mother shame
When I got to the place where I spent my childhood
The silvery moon
to be moving fast
What happened to the nicities
Of my childhood days
Well I can't do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure
porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, O, oh way to go
porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Saw this world past
Like the wind through the trees
Ay, oh, where did
the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
We sang the songs of childhood
Hymns
on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Slowly swirled past
Like the wind through the trees
A, o, oh
graveyards and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me of my childhood souvenirs
Memories, they can't be
Precious father loving mother fly across the lonely years
And old home scene of my childhood in fond memory appears
Precious memories how they linger...
and old pawn shops
For they always bring me tears
I can't forgive the way they robbed me
Of my childhood souvenirs
Memories, they can't be boughten
They
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved
flowers and winter with snow
Alabama so sweet to my mem'ry you shine like a light on a beautiful hill
Alabama in days of my childhood I played there
