I remember waitina€™ by the curb with Mr. Murphy
|
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
|
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
|
Where my family gathered round my Grandpaa€™s bed
|
He was my best friend
|
He taught me how to fish
|
And I cried listenin to my daddy pray
|
For one of those Ia€™ve loved along the way
|
|
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
|
That whole next year we couldna€™t get enough
|
And after graduation she took off for Denver
|
And for awhile we both tried to keep in touch
|
She was my best friend
|
And it broke my heart
|
But I dona€™t regret the day that she became
|
One of those Ia€™ve loved along the way
|
|
And I hope they know
|
I never woulda made it this far on my own
|
Where would we all be without those
|
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
|
The friends Ia€™ve made, the long lost lovers
|
I wouldna€™t be who I am today
|
If not for those Ia€™ve loved along the way
|
Along the way
|
|
Now Ia€™m just a country boy with a guitar
|
Lookina€™ back down this old road Ia€™ve been travelina€™ on
|
It was never about tryina€™ to be some big star
|
For me ita€™s always been about these songs
|
You see theya€™re my best friends
|
Theya€™re the life I live
|
And I hope they put a smile on the face
|
Of those that Ia€™ve loved along the way
|
a€?Cause I wouldna€™t be the man I am today
|
If not for those Ia€™ve loved along the way
|
