- A few months ago I was feeling particularly homesick even though I had just gotten back to Nashville after a long weekend back home in Kentucky. I found a few lines of a verse that I had written back in September, bits of imagery from my childhood, and those lines became the building blocks for this song. As always, thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy this original song! (Lyrics below)

Lyrics:
V1:
Mama's yelling from the front porch supper's ready
I can hear it clear across the creek
There's a couple old dogs following me and daddy
picking blackberries in the July heat
Head to the house sit down at the table
We're holding hands while daddy says grace
Never thought I'd miss things being that simple
Like the way they were in my younger days but
CH:
Lord knows this life ain't easy
Sometimes it's just plain hard
When you're on your own and you're barely making ends meet
It makes you wish you were still playing in the yard
When you're young you wanna be older
Older you get the more you see
Growing up ain't all it's cracked up to be
V2:
There's always another bill that needs paying
When you're down to your very last dime
Some nights you'll lay in bed praying
Asking God to go back in time
CH
Br:
It's been awhile since I could leave the city
Long enough for me to get back home
And I can hear mom and daddy getting grayer
Every time I talk to 'em on the telephone
CH

Great tune. Good job Timothy. Nailed it.
Well done Tim. Your hard work shows (because us musicians know that's how you got to this point). And you have been teaching me for a few years now..... I have used techniques & riffs in your covers of Milsap's Smoky Mt Rain, Strait's She'll Leave you with a Smile, and Whitley's Don't Close your Eyes as parts of my own versions. And people love them. Thanks buddy.
