Sometimes I wish that I could press rewind
I'd just go back to that place and replay it one more time
It used to be a field where I could feel so wild and free
We'd crawl underneath a barbed wire fence to follow that old creek
Sometimes in the summer when we'd get to feeling brave
We'd grab the tent poles and a canvas and find a spot there in the shade
We'd set up far enough away to still see the back porch light
We'd make bets to see which one of us could make it all through the night
I keep these memories in a pocket of my mind
With all the places I hold dear captured in another time
I can't go back there, cause it's gone
So I'll remember it in a song
Sometimes I wish I could sit out on that porch
And listen to him tellin' stories of how he made it through the war
He'd point up to heavens after he'd turned down all the lights
We'd see more stars than we could count as we looked out into the night
I keep his memory in a pocket of my mind.
With all the ones that I hold dear captured in another time
I can't go back there, cause they're gone
So I'll remember them in a song
That truck, that road, that song on the radio
Well they remind me of a time that doesn't seem so long ago
But I can't go back there cause they're gone
So I'll remember them in a song
Sometimes I wish that I could press rewind
I'd just go back to that place and replay it one more time
