lyrics

Back of this yard where we used to run and play
Freedom in the air and the sunlight shining down on us all day
The clubhouse still stands built from scraps that we saved
A ladder to the sky and there the promises we once made

Well I've been here before but it was so long ago
I knew my purpose for being, but suddenly I just don't know anymore

Didn't think of it then and how it'd be growing up
All the friends you once had you'd soon be giving up and on your own
And to think it was enough and your life would be all set
Your childhood skeletons tucked away back in the closet

Well I've been here before but it was so long ago
I knew my purpose for being but suddenly I just don't know anymore
I’ve been living my whole life diggin up old bones
'Cause the life I’ve been leading is not the life I used to know
Diggin up old bones

Into sunsets we'd ride on our very first dates
Through the wind and the clear skies didn't think there could be a better place
And on that road in my mind it was never hard to reach
Past fields stretched in time the weeds trampled underneath


Yeah I've been here before but it was so long ago
I knew my purpose for being but suddenly I just don't know anymore
I’ve been living my whole life diggin up old bones
'Cause the life I’ve been leading is not the life I used to know
Diggin up old bones

Gramma in her rocker eating chokecherry pie
And Jo on his violin, he'd always make mama cry
When I think of it now I guess her life was never easy
But if I could find my way back I just might find the thing
that's been haunting me

Well I've been here before but it was so long ago
I knew my purpose for being but suddenly I just don't know anymore
I’ve been living my whole life diggin up old bones
'Cause the life I’ve been leading is not the life I used to know
Diggin up old bones
