You Can't Go Back Again

You come in the house for dinner
And you wash your face and hands in a pan
Throw the water out the backdoor
And you throw in on a chicken if you can

Smellin' all the cookin'
And wishin' that the blessin' would end
Oh, I wish that I could smell it
But you can't go back again

Sittin' on the front porch
Listenin' to the katydids sing
The kids are catchin' lightin' bugs
And make little shiny diamond rings

The folks are tryin' to figure
How the Wheelers and Higgins are kin
Wish that I could hear 'em tell it
But you can't go back again

Oh, the kindlin's all cut
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And it's stacked there a waitin' to burn
There's a ring on the floor
Where the cream leaked out of the churn

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the news
That's a goin' around
Charlie Finch's daughter got in trouble
And she had to leave town

Mama's washin' dishes
And she's got a pair of britches to mend
Wish that I could watch her do it
But you can't go back again

Oh, the kindlin's all cut and it's stacked
Everybody's talkin' bout the news
Oh, I wish that I could watch her
But you can't go back again
