Why Would You Go Back Lyrics

Jeni Varnadeau Why Would You Go Back

J. Varnadeau, R. Partin, P. Rogers
            Galatians 3; 4:9; 5:1
     There was an old woman who lived in a
     shoe
     Who told me a tale of a man she once
     knew
     He walked around town with a rock on his
     shoulder
     And each day she'd watch him growing
     older
     All that he knew was the life of his past
     He couldn't move forward he kept looking
     back
     He carried this boulder just like his dad
     used to do
     He didn't know why, but he thought he
     was supposed to
     What else could he do?
     CHORUS
     Why would he go back to the burdens that
     he knew before
     Why would he go back when he could
     walk in joy and freedom
     He don't have to believe he was meant for
     that
     Why, why would he go back?
     There's just one place where he'd lay the
     stone down
     At his friends glass house on the edge of
     town
     So he'd go visit and he'd be so glad
     and rattle on and on about the good time
     he had
     Telling his friend as he'd head toward the
     door
     He wished his own life could be this way
     more
     As he leans down to pick up his stone
