The highway sign said the Georgia line   Was twenty miles away   So I thought I'd take a detour   And see the old home place   I could have found my way   With my eyes closed and in the dark   This ol' dirt road ain't on no map   I knew the way by heart      And the house still looks the same   Though the name on that ol' mail box has been changed   And a tractor turn the earth   That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first   As the memories return and my eye began to burn   This ol' place has new faces in the fields      The rockin' chairs on the font porch   Move from a sudden wind   It's almost like my mom and dad   Were sittin' there again   I hear my brother callin' from    His favorite climbin' tree   But I'm just hearin' echoes   Of how it used to be      And the house still looks the same   Though the name on that ol' mail box has been changed   And a tractor turn the earth   That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first   As the memories return and my eye began to burn   This ol' place has new faces in the fields
