There's an old road
Buried deep down in my mind
That I go to sometimes
When I'm lonely
Little front porch
Man, if those rockin' chairs could talk
I'd give anything at all
If I could only
Pull the words out of these walls

Jesus loved me, this I know
For the Bible told me so
And the sand was in my toes
Not a glass
Throwin' rocks and paper planes
Leavin' pennies for the train
Had more days down the road
Than in the past
When heroes never died
And time didn't fly

I used to think
I couldn't wait to leave this place
Take my foot off of the break
And hit the fast lane
If I could go back
I'd tell that boy to slow it down
Keep that innocence around
A little longer
Ain't no turnin' back the clock

Jesus loved me, this I know
For the Bible told me so
And the sand was in my toes
And not a glass
Throwin' rocks and paper planes
Leavin' pennies for the train
Had more days down the road
Than in the past
When heroes never died
And time didn't fly

Jesus loved me, this I know
For the Bible told me so
And the sand was in my toes
And not a glass
Throwin' rocks and paper planes
Leavin' pennies for the train
Had more days down the road
Than in the past
Heroes never died
And time didn't fly
And time didn't fly
