Lyrics
Verse 1:
I remember this and so much more.
How three old country roads came together in front of Junior's Store.
The store was the center of this quiet little town, where people from the county all came from miles around.
Chorus:
Oooooh, take me back to that simple time & place, where life wasn't hard and moved with a much slower pace.
Oh moved with a much slower pace.
Verse 2:
Junior would sit in the front of his store, greeting folks by name as they walked through the door.
Grandma would buy lard, flour, bacon, and grits.
She would make her biscuits as big as your fists.
Verse 3:
My family still lives near Junior's old store and missing them is a feeling I just can't ignore.
I've been gone from Junior's Store for a very long time, but Junior,
and his store still occupy my mind.
Ending:
Repeat Chorus
Ending - (4X) Oh moved with a much slower pace.
