Carry Me Back

(Don Reid - Harold Reid)



Carry me back Lord

While I still got the time.

Is Jimmy through serving

His Hitch with Uncle Sam?



Do the kids still spend

Saturday nights

Driving round

Hamburger Dance?



Did Jackie ever make it

To the streets of Hollywood

And Bobby I'd love to see him again

And I would if I could.



Carry me back

And make me feel at home

Let me cling to those mem'ries

That won't let me alone.



Where it was always summer

And she was always kind

Carry me back Lord

While I still got the time.

Does the preacher still visit

When some poor so gets down

Do the stores still stay open

On Friday nights downtown.



Is Jo Ann still as pretty

As when she wore my high school ring

When you see her tell her I said

July 1959 she'll know what I mean.



Carry me back

And make me feel at home

Let me cling to those mem'ries

That won't let me alone.



Where it was always summer

And she was always kind

Carry me back Lord

While I still got the time.



Carry me back Lord

While I still got the time...
