Younger Face
[Verse 1]
Years ago
Before we got so sick
Before our skin got thick
Easterly we'd go
A couple hours
Down a two-lane road
Oil and gas, it flowed
Through that Buick's veins

[Chorus]
And I hope I dream tonight
Of that old home place
Before we were full of spite
And we all wore a younger face

[Verse 2]
And the days
Seemed to last for weeks
Sweat ran down our cheeks
Bare chests and feet
Boys with dirty mouths
Arms all scratched and scared
Trucks parked in the yard
Coolers full of cans
[Chorus]
And I hope I dream tonight
Of that old home place
Before we were full of spite
And we all wore a younger face

[Verse 3]
Evenings spent
Watching grandpa drink
Cousin Johnny huff gasoline
And grandma smoke
And we're surprised
When things catch up and kill
We always say they will
But we don't believe

[Chorus]
And I hope I dream tonight
Of that old home place
Before we were full of spite
And we all wore a younger face
