I grew up in a town with one red light How that train would rattle me in the middle of the night But I slept like a baby in that bed Cause mama kept me warm and she kept me fed
July 3rd was a dreaded friend of mine We'd all go down to the family plot in the Louisiana pines Staring at that little baby's grave Stella was as young as she was brave
And what I'd give to go there again Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand Little did I know soon they would be Lying right beside her, gone away from me Gone away from me
They always made us kneel by grandpa's grave Mama was a-wailing asking God if he was saved I never liked to see my daddy cry I guess I'll never know how grandpa died
And what I'd give to go there again Kiss my daddy's face, hold my mama's hand Little did I know soon they would be Lying right beside him, gone away from me Gone away from me (Gone away from me) Gone away from me, from me (Gone away from me) Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
You barely even see the tombstones now The trees are grown up everywhere and no one keeps the grounds Strangers live inside my childhood home And I can't believe that daddy's really gone
And what I'd give to go there again Kiss his withered face, hold her gentle hand But there ain't no way that will ever be They lie beneath that old tree, Gone away from me (Gone away from me) Gone away from me Gone away from me (Gone away from me)
