Back to Hancock County



Hey Luther, I've been thinking
How the whole damn world is sinking
You and I ain't even like we used to be
We used to be like brothers
Now we hardly know each other
It's a shame how people change, don't you agree

Remember when we traveled
Down the country roads of gravel
In a pickup truck just barely fit to run
The dust and all the clatter
Sure did make the chickens scatter
Just country boys out to have some fun

Chorus
There was moonshine in the stills
Rabbits in the hills
Squirrels a' barking in the trees
Hounds to run all night
Girls to hold us tight
Back in Hancock County, Tennessee

We had a time a' sparking
With good old Sally Larkin
What Sally taught us, they don't teach in country school
I'd give my last ten dollars
To be back in the holler
Sipping on a jug of mountain dew

But time sure is passing
And we ain't got time for lasting
We got more worries than our heads can hold
Before we're gone forever
Let's go have some fun together
Like we did before we started growing old

Chorus

Chorus
Back in Hancock County, Tennessee
