David and Rachel Radio 7.19.23: CAN’T TAKE ME BACKRachel started this, lyrically, and I fiddled with just a few things, mostly in the chorus.
The music came to me almost immediately when I read the lyrics, which hit me hard. I love playing and singing this song, and I can’t get it out of my head. Regardless of what anyone might say, I just love singing and playing this, more than anything I can remember in quite a while. I guess it’s because I just love these lyrics.
Hope you like it.
CAN’T TAKE ME BACKhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/cant-take-me-backBy Rachel Cintula and David Snyder
V1
Life moved past the one horse in this town
Stoplights are the only thing slowing people down
Highway goes through where the county fair used to be
And many folks have passed on who I’d like to see
The coach I knew retired from teaching in the game
A lot of folks don’t even know me by my family name
CH
See, it don’t matter which way I go
Highways or low ways, or the beaten paths I know
Gravel or pavement
Or a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they just can’t take me back
V2
Been told I’ve changed by folks I once called friends
I guess I have from the far off places that I’ve been
Like all these old fields my life’s become over grown
And I ‘m thankful when I get to my back to mama’s home
Where things were simple and I was my daddy’s son
And I could rest without worry when the day was done
CH
See, it don’t matter which way I go
Highways or low ways, those memories are gold
Gravel or pavement
Or a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they just can’t take me back
BR
If I knew then
what I now feel
I would have lived more in the present
Livin’ moments time can’t steal
CH
Cause it doesn’t matter
which way I go
highways or low ways
my heart knows one sad fact
Gravel or pavement
Or a rough dirt track
These country roads can take me home
But man, they can never take me back
never take me back
