Way Back
Back in ?73 when everything was new
A family on the grow, we needed room to move
The Town and Country it was quite a ride
For a mom, a dad, and 2 boys inside
22 foot, forest green
With a 440 block and that fake wood paneling
0 to 60 in about an hour,
But does pick-up really matter when you?ve got all that power
I want to ride in the way back
Find my way back to yesterday
Can I ride in the way back
It?s my turn, I?ve been good, and you know Dad said I could
By ?78 the wagon showed some wear
But with 3 boy?s now, who had time to care
T-ball, soccer, C.C.D.
Got to go get Jamie and be back by 3:00
Carrying Kool-Aid, cups, and cleats
Is it our turn to bring the Rice Crispy treats
8 bags of groceries, 4 sheets of ply
And a Cub Scout den from pack 635
And I want to ride in the way back
Find my way back to yesterday
Can I ride in the way back
It?s my turn, I?ve been good, and you know Mom said I could
By ?83 we had seen it all
And with 4 boys now, it was quite a haul
Up to Harper?s Ferry, down to Disney, too
Hard to count the towns our Town and Country knew
Caverns, aquariums, Air and Space
All those Sundays searching for that perfect place
Songs and screaming, games and gas
Ain't it funny how the miles they go by so fast
2X) II: I want to ride in the way back
Find my way back to yesterday
Can I ride in the way back
It?s my turn, I?ve been good, and you know Dad (Mom) said I could :II
