I wander down Old Macon Road The countless years unreeling I love the taste Of yesterday Reliving every feeling I wander by The old home place To gaze through cracked old panes The laughing ghosts Are looking back As it begins to rain A sudden storm unleashes And the memories Fade once more Just a house With falling clapboards As winds blow off a door I wander down Old Macon Road As I have done so often Now back to sleep Till Gabe’s ole horn In my old rusty coffin
