New Faces In The Fields

[Verse 1]
The highway sign said the Georgia line was twenty miles away
So I thought I'd take a detour and see the old home place
I could have found my way with my eyes closed and in the dark
This old dirt road ain't on no map, I knew the way by heart

[Chorus]
And the house still looks the same
Though the name on that old mailbox has been changed
And a tractor turns the earth
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
As the memories return and my eyes began to burn
This old place has new faces in the fields

[Verse 2]
The rockin' chairs on the font porch move from a sudden wind
It's almost like my mom and dad were sittin' there again
I hear my brother callin' from his favorite climbin' tree
But I'm just hearin' echoes of how it used to be

[Chorus]
And the house still looks the same
Though the name on that old mailbox has been changed
And a tractor turns the earth
That my grandpa and a mule had plowed up first
As the memories return and my eyes began to burn
This old place has new faces in the fields
