[Verse 1]
G Em
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter,
C D
A hole in the screen door as big as your fist,
G
And flies on the butter,
[Verse 2]
G
Mamaw baking sugar cookies,
Em
We were watching cartoons,

I Heard her holler from the kitchen,
D G - D
Which one of you yougins wants to lick the spoon,
[Verse 3]
G
Yellow jackets on the watermelon,
Em
Honeysuckle in the air,
C
Daddy turning on the sprinkler,
D G - D
Us kids running through it in our underwear,
[Verse 4]
G
Old dog napping on the front porch,
Em
His ear just a-twitching,
C
Fell asleep on grandaddy's lap,
D G
To the sound of his pocket watch ticking,
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D G
Whoa Oh, Whoa oh,
Cadd9 D G - D
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago,

Whoa Oh, Whoa oh,

You can dream about it every now and then,

But you can't go home again,
[Verse 5]

Me and my best friend Jenny,
Em
Set up a backyard camp,
C
Stole one of mama's mason jars,
D G - D
Poked holes in the lid and made a fire fly lamp,
[Verse 6]
G Em
Me and Billy Monroe sneaking down by the river,
C D
And I'm still haunted by the taste of the kiss,
G
I was too scared to give him,
[Chorus]

Whoa Oh, Whoa oh,

You can dream about it every now and then,

But you can't go home again,
[Verse 7]
G
There's a black-top road,
Em
A faded yellow centerline,
C
It can take you back to the place,
D G - D
But it can't take you back in time,
[Chorus]
Cadd9 D G
Whoa Oh, Whoa oh,
Cadd9 D G
It doesn't seem like it was all that long ago,

You can dream about it every now and then,
D G
But you can't go home again,
[Ending]
G Em
Old tin roof, leaves in the gutter,

A hole in the screen door big as your fist,

And flies on the butter
