Carry me back, Lord, while [A7]I still got the [D]time
Is Jimmy through [D7]servin' his [G]hitch with Uncle [D]Sam?
Do the kids still spend Saturday nights [Em]drivin' 'round Hamburger [A7]Dan's?
Did [D]Jackie ever [D7]make it to the [G]streets of Holly[D]wood?
& Bobby, I'd love to see him again, & I [A7]would if I [D]could
CHORUS:
Carry me [D7]back & [G]make me feel at [D]home
Let me cling to those mem'ries that [Em]won't let me a[A7]lone
Where [D]it was always [D7]summer & [G]she was always [D]mine
Carry me back, Lord, while [A7]I still got the [D]time
Verse 2:
Does the preacher still visit when sun or snow gets down?
Do the stores still stay open on Friday nights downtown?
Is JoAnn 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
(chorus, then repeat its last line)
