I take the time and I travel
to where the old place stands
The little white fence is almost gone
with the skill of my father's hands
No, the old place don't shine anymore
There's holes in most the
Well, it never was the best
Well, I can still see Dad working hard
On football games in the back of our yard
My two little brothers an
Faces of people a long time gone
Yeah, the old place could
There's holes in most the
Well it never was the best house on the block
like a pyramid in the desert
like some ancient sacred stone
those memories will last forever
It was one of the first built out this way,
the old place has seen better days
And I don't see it standing
But it was home for me and my family,
some other members on the family tree
And the love we learned here
But the old place don't shine anymore
There's holes in most the
Well it never was the best
No, the old place don't shine anymore
The old place don't shine you
