Lyrics
Let me take one last look around
My grandpa used to live here in this house
He used to call the shut-ins though he could barely hear
On this phone, this phone right here
When I dial this phone, this old phone
When I dial this phone, it takes me back again, back again
After grandma died he kept her piano
even though he never played at all
I learned to play on her piano
Lord I miss them
When I dial this phone, this old phone
When I dial this phone, it takes me back again
It takes me back, takes me back, back again
It takes me back, takes me back again
It takes me back, takes me back again
Let me take one last look around
Let me take one last look around, Lord I miss them
Let me take one last look around, Lord I miss them ......repeat
