Take Me Back And Leave Me There

Wish i could find a greyhound
That had a destination sign
Said elrod alabama 1949
With the smell of sweet magnolias
Blowing in the summer air
Lord take me back and leave me there

Chorus
Pass through the land of cotton
Carry me away to those feelings
Long forgotten in the good old days
To the place that's cool and shady
Tire swings and rocking chairs
Lord take me back and leave me there

I want to live in grandpa's stories
Taste a drugstore malt for two
Of grandma's blue ribbon pickles
That made the front page news
Yesterday is all i'm after
How i get there i don't care
Just take me back and leave me there

Chorus
Pass through the land of cotton
Carry me away to those feelings
Long forgotten in the good old days
To the place that's cool and shady
Tire swings and rocking chairs
Lord take me back and leave me there

To the place that's cool and shady
Tire swings and rocking chairs
Lord take me back and leave me there

Lord take me back and leave me there
