Flies On The Butter


The last weekend Herb was taken to Bremen on some sad duty. So he was in for a sentimental journey and he took this pictures for you GGGee. See that we even found some memorabilia of an old and long gone friend.



But now I want you GGGee to power on your CD and let this old song fill the air and take you back. Back to the past were we all 3 were united in Bremen.
Kisses Herb the not so nut nuts.



Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist, and flies on the butter
Mama baking sugar cookies, we were watching cartoons
Heard her holler from the kitchen which one of you youngin's wants to lick the spoon?
Yellow jackets on the watermelon, honeysuckle in the air
Daddy turning on the sprinkler, us kids running through it in our underwear
Old dog napping on the front porch, his ear just a-twitching
Fell asleep on Granddaddy's lap to the sound of his pocket watch ticking


Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again


Me and my best friend Jenny set up a back yard camp
Stole one of Mama's Mason jars, poked holes in the lid and made a fire fly lamp
Me and Billy Monroe sneaking down by the river
And I'm still haunted by the taste kiss I was too scared to give him


Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again


There's a black-top road, a faded yellow center line
It can take you back to the place, but it can't take you back in time

Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago
Oh, oh, oh - Oh, oh, oh
You can dream about it every now and then
But you can't go home again


Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter
A hole in the screen door big as your fist, and flies on the butter
