Used to come from miles around
Have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs
And shake notes in four part harmony
Like he set me free and he'll follow me
And anywhere is home
How long has it been
Since you heard an old convention song
I still love to hear those old convention songs
That I heard as a child
As we sang them all day long
I'm gonna walk in just a little talking
All the day long
How long has it been
Since you heard an old condition song
Gospel songs today
Have a lot to say
To lift you up when you're feelin' down
Some have a country flavor
Some have a modern sound
They all serve in need of planting seeds
So I know they can't go wrong
There's none so dear
As when I hear an old convention song
I still I still love to hear love
To hear those old convention songs
That I heard that I heard as a child as a little child
As we sang them all day long
Like I'm a gonna walk and just a little talking
All the day long
How long has it been
Since you heard an old convention song
How long how long has it been
Has it been since you heard after a while
How long how long since you heard
Since you heard give the world a smile
How long how long since you heard
Since you heard I'm winging my way back home
How long has it been
Since you heard an old convention song
How long has it been
Since you heard an old convention song
