| Today is my birthday
|
| And all that I want
|
| Is to dig through this big box of pictures
|
| In my kitchen 'til the daylight’s gone
|
| This one here’s my momma with the long brown hair
|
| I’m forty years older today than she was in that picture there
|
| But if life stayed the way it was
|
| And lovers never fell out of love
|
| If memories didn’t last so long
|
| If nobody did nobody wrong
|
| If we knew what we had before it was gone
|
| If every road led back home
|
| This would be the very last country song
|
| These are all my babies
|
| Lord knows how we survived
|
| The first one was hard and the last wasn’t planned, what a big surprise
|
| That’s him with his daddy’s eyes
|
| I loved the man in this one
|
| It’s faded but I don’t care
|
| There are nights when I wake up and know he’s beside me I swear
|
| Sometimes I still feel him there
|
| But if life stayed the way it was
|
| And lovers never fell out of love
|
| If memories didn’t last so long
|
| If nobody did nobody wrong
|
| If we knew what we had before it was gone
|
| If every road led back home
|
| This would be the very last country song
|
| If we knew what we had before it was gone
|
| If every road led back home
|
| This would be the very last country song |
