Why Would You Go Back? Lyrics - Singles - Varnadeau Jeni

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
