Lyrics

Sometimes I think of home, whoaaaa
See I've been so far away, yeaaaaaa
For so many days....
The place still looks the same, yeaaaaaa
But different in so many waaaayyys
Yea, I can't go home...
I've often wondered how it came to be
Hang a right at the hill onto CTY D, yeaaaaaa
Is the gravel still on the road
I'll probably never, ever know....
Cuz I can't go home

Time flies......oooooo
Time flies........
Time flies......oooooo
Time flies.....

Summer winds carried me down country roads
Past the cattle herds and bailer loads, whoaaaa
Walkin' down Sunnyside, let's take a ride
Yeaaaaaa to grandpa's farm, whoaaaa
Come on brother, yea take my arm



Time flies......oooooo
Time flies........
Time flies......oooooo
Time flies.....

Rode our bikes on down the highway
2 miles to that special place, yeaaaaaa
The townie kids and country folk
All gathered at that swimming hole, whoaaaa
Find the big rock in the deep water
Seemed the hardest thing that I'd ever
We were all high on life in the summer
Just Jumpin' River.....

Time flies......oooooo
Time flies........
Time flies......oooooo
Time flies.....
