Lyrics:

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

Is Jimmy through serving is Hitch with Uncle Sam

Do the kids still spend Saturday nights driving round Hamburger Dance

Did Jackie ever make it to the streets of Hollywood

And Bobby I'd love to see him again and I would if I could

Carry me back and make me feel at home

Let me cling to those mem'ries that won't let me alone

Where it was always summer and she was always kind

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time

[ strings ]

Does the preacher still visit when some poor so gets down

Do the stores still stay open on Friday nights downtown

It's Jo Ann still as pretty as when she wore my high school ring

When you see her tell her I said July 1959 she'll know what I mean

Carry me back...

Carry me back Lord while I still got the time
