It's been too long
|
Since I traveled down
|
That ol' gravel road
|
On the north end of town
|
And I need a taste
|
Of the good ol' days gone
|
So tonight I let my memory
|
Take me home
|
|
And I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up
|
With a half a dozen roses
|
In my daddy's pickup truck
|
And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms
|
Dream on and on and on
|
Tonight I'll let my memory take me home
|
|
We grew apart and I moved away
|
It's a choice I regret
|
A little more every day
|
God I love to go back
|
To the good ol' days gone
|
So tonight I'll let my memory
|
Take me home
|
|
And I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up
|
With a half a dozen roses
|
In my daddy's pickup truck
|
And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms
|
Dream on and on and on
|
Tonight I'll let my memory take me home
|
|
Yesterday ain't that far away
|
I'll just close my eyes
|
And drift away
|
|
I'll be seventeen on my way to pick her up
|
With a half a dozen roses
|
In my daddy's pickup truck
|
And for a little while I'll just hold her in my arms
|
Dream on and on and on
|
Tonight I'll let my memory take me home
|
Dream on and on and on
|
Tonight I'll let my memory take me home
|
