the statler brothers - you can't go home lyrics
roy taught me how to play baseball and do the foxtrot on the harp
taught me how to swim and fish and tell the difference between b-ss and carp
taught me how to snap my fingers whistle through my teeth oh uncle roy
he sure took time to make times good for a little pesty half grown boy
aunt kathleen would wash my clothes and blow my nose whenever nature called
darn my socks and d-mn the pox but kept me out of school from fall to fall
gave me movie money though i never did my ch-r-s the way i should
to a nasty little nephew kathleen you sure made aunthood awful good
and freddy used to laughed to me whenever something valuable got broke
he taught me how to climb a tree about birds and bees and taught me how to smoke
he took me on a first date i was scared to death but he said you’ll do fine
good buddy you’re my cousin but you seem more like a brother of mine
but you can’t go home to the good times you can’t go home anymore
roy’s all crippled up now kathleen can hardly see
freddy’s off somewhere to fight a war
but you can’t go home to the good times you can’t go home anymore
everything has changed and who were there to blame
gone far that you just can’t go home
[ strings ]
looking back i’d say i had the best childhood that money just can’t buy
and i owe it all to free good folks who took me in when mom began to die
they always told me son just do what’s right and you’ll be proud just wait and see
well roy and kathleen i’m only proud that you’re the ones who’s proud of me
but you can’t go home to the good times you can’t go home anymore
roy’s rheumatism kathleen’s cataract and freddy’s fightin’ someone else’s war
