very last country song

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 mama

with the long

brown hair

i'm 40 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 that 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

if we knew what we had before it was gone

if every road led back home

this would be the very last country song
