Standard (EADGBE)

Carry me back, Lord, while I still got the time

 Is Jimmy through servin his hitch with Uncle Sam

 Do the kids still spend Saturday nights drivin round Hamburger Dans

 Did Jackie ever make it to the streets of Hollywood

 and Bobby Id love to see him again and I would if I could

Chorus

 Carry me back and make me feel at home

 Let me cling to those memries that wont let me alone

 Where it was always summer and she was always mine

 Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

Does the preacher still visit when some poor soul 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 shell know what I mean

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
