Take Me Back to Them Good Old Days(response remix to Shawnee Lorraine Wiseman Them Good Old Days)

[Verse 1] Grandmama’s stove had a rattlin’ lid Tea towels dried on a old clothesline Granddaddy laughed tellin’ county tales ’Bout the flood, ’bout the fair in ’69 Peach pie coolin’ on the window sill Cornbread cut in a cast iron pan We’d sit cross‑legged at their story feet While they spun that world in the palm of their hand [Pre-Chorus] And I can still hear Every word they’d say How they stitched our hearts With the threads of yesterday [Chorus] Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where the love ran deep (Where the love ran deep) Like a front‑yard praise (Like a front‑yard praise) Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where my soul felt strong Where my soul felt strong [Verse 2] Supper table set with the Sunday best Fried chicken piled on a chipped white plate Sweet tea sweating in them mason jars Blackberry jam that we couldn’t wait Homemade biscuits with the gravy steam Apple butter on a buttered roll Kool‑Aid rings on the checkered cloth Every bite we took kinda fed our soul [Pre-Chorus] And I can still hear How their laughter rolled Every story shared Turned the night to gold [Chorus] Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where the porch light shined (Where the porch light shined) On our childhood ways (On our childhood ways) Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where my soul felt strong Where my soul felt strong [Bridge] Hide and seek until the fireflies came Hopscotch chalk on the busted drive Card games, checkers, and a red jump rope We were rich just bein’ alive Friends and cousins in a circle tight Laughin’ loud in the summer heat I lift up a prayer for every name I knew For that circle I pray we’ll one day meet [Final Chorus] Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where the love ran deep (Where the love ran deep) Like a front‑yard praise (Like a front‑yard praise) Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) Where my soul felt strong Where my soul felt strong Take me back, Lord, to them good old days (Take me back, Lord, to them good old days) I can taste them now (I can taste them now) All the food and tales (All the food and tales) Ain’t lost, ain’t gone Ain’t lost, ain’t gone
