Lyrics

Take Me Back To Mayberry by Andy Budd (ASCAP)

I can't remember the last time / I had any kind of homemade pie / or laid out on the grass in my Levi's / for no other rea-son than to look at the sky / I've been too bu-sy working / I got too much wor-ry and stress / Too much traf-fic in my com-mute / and I need to de-com-press

TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY / SO I CAN SPEND SUMMER COMPLETELY FREE / OF THE HASSLE AND STRIFE OF THIS MODERN LIFE / WITH ANDY & OPIE AND OLD AUNT BEE / ME & OPIE GOIN' TO THE FISHIN' HOLE WITH A BOBBER AN' A HOOK ON AN OL' CANE POLE / LIFE WOULD BE SWEET, IF IT COULD BE / WON'T YOU TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY.

I can still remember the time / When P's & Q's were something to mind / You didn't dare step outta line / Or momma'd take a switch to your behind / Whatever happend to being a kid / They don't play outside anymore / Or ride their bikes down Main Street / For penny candy at the old drug store.

TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY / SO I CAN SPEND SUMMER COMPLETELY FREE / OF THE HASSLE AND STRIFE OF THIS MODERN LIFE / WITH ANDY & OPIE AND OLD AUNT BEE / ME & OPIE GOIN' TO THE FISHIN' HOLE WITH A BOBBER AN' A HOOK ON AN OL' CANE POLE / LIFE WOULD BE SWEET, IF IT COULD BE / WON'T YOU TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY.

Kids to-day don't seem to care / Everybod's showin' off their underwear / They got their shorts down around their knees / Or a thong stickin' out of them hip hugger jeans / Me, I'm a little more old school / I'd prefer a little modesty / Or maybe I'm just a grumpy old fool / And maybe the problem is me

TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY / SO I CAN SPEND SUMMER COMPLETELY FREE / OF THE HASSLE AND STRIFE OF THIS MODERN LIFE / WITH ANDY & OPIE AND OLD AUNT BEE / ME & OPIE GOIN' TO THE FISHIN' HOLE WITH A BOBBER AN' A HOOK ON AN OL' CANE POLE / LIFE WOULD BE SWEET, IF IT COULD BE / WON'T YOU TAKE ME BACK TO MAYBERRY.
