Jeni Varnadeau - Why Would You Go Back lyrics

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
