《Flies on the Butter》歌词

[00:00:00] Flies on the Butter - Elizabeth Ward Land/Lee Lessack

[00:00:14] Old tin roof leaves in the gutter

[00:00:21] A hole in the screen door big as your fist

[00:00:25] And flies on the butter

[00:00:29] Mama baking sugar cookies we were watching cartoons

[00:00:36] I heard her holler from the kitchen

[00:00:39] "Which one of you youngen's wants to lick the spoon "

[00:00:44] Yellow jackets on the watermelon honeysuckle in the air

[00:00:52] Daddy turning on the sprinkler

[00:00:54] Us kids running through it in our underwear

[00:00:59] Old dog napping on the front porch his ear just a twitching

[00:01:07] Fell asleep on granddaddy's lap

[00:01:10] To the sound of his pocket watch ticking

[00:01:15] Oh oh it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago

[00:01:30] Oh oh you can dream about it every now and then

[00:01:44] But you can't go home again

[00:01:53] Me and my best friend Jenny set up a backyard camp

[00:02:00] Stole one of mama's mason jars

[00:02:02] Poked holes in the lid and made a firefly lamp

[00:02:08] Me and Billy Monroe sneaking down by the river

[00:02:16] I'm still haunted by the taste of the kiss

[00:02:19] I was too scared to give him

[00:02:24] Oh oh it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago

[00:02:39] Oh oh you can dream about it every now and then

[00:02:53] But you can't go home again

[00:03:09] There's a blacktop road a faded yellow centerline

[00:03:16] It can take you back to the place

[00:03:19] But it can't take you back in time

[00:03:26] Oh oh it doesn't seem like it was all that long ago

[00:03:40] Oh oh you can dream about it every now and then

[00:03:55] But you can't go home again

[00:03:58] Old tin roof leaves in the gutter

[00:04:03] A hole in the screen door big as your fist

[00:04:08] And flies on the butter
