| I’m going back where I made tracks
|
| In my boyhood days on gran-daddy's land
|
| The family ties that bind
|
| Hope I can still find
|
| My mother joins in the red playback sand
|
| The next stop on my quest
|
| Place I still love the best
|
| Alabama river bank now I see the lights
|
| Although Montgomery town
|
| Let’s put the hammer down
|
| We going down the lost highway tonight, yeah
|
| It’s about time for some country songs
|
| It’s about time to play some southern rock to the bone
|
| Cause we’ve had enough of this weird pop country sound
|
| On my guitar, brothers and sisters come, and gather around
|
| A country state of mind
|
| We’ll pass a little musky vine wine
|
| Yeah I’m telling you it’s about time (time, it’s about time)
|
| I watched Waylon and Merle
|
| They were the kings of the world
|
| Far as I was concerned, and then he changed
|
| Thanks to Jerry Lee
|
| Johnny and Jim, Hank and Miss Audrey
|
| Hey, I’ve done my share of crying
|
| It’s about time
|
| It’s about time for some country songs
|
| It’s about time to play some southern rock all night long
|
| Cause we’ve had enough of this weird pop country sound
|
| On my guitar, brothers and sisters come, and gather around
|
| A country state of mind (country state of mind)
|
| It’s 1976 in the mind
|
| Hey I’m telling you it’s about time (time, it’s about time)
|
| I pulled a Bobby Mercer on that mother |
