How I Remember It Lyrics

Dairy Queens and dollar stores

Veterans of foreign wars

Sunday Meeting and Monday chores

And that's how I remember it

Middle School dances and Senior Prom

Then off to work or Vietnam

You don't move far from your dad and mom

And that's how I remember it

And I know this world is changing but I don't care

I might be a thousand miles from my home

But my heart will still be there

Sometimes i feel like an old man

When i think of all that's gone

I'll leave the bad in the past

The good stuff, I'll bring it along

Diggin' coal and payin' rent

Come Monday morning my check's all spent

But I'm saving up for a fishing trip

And that's how I remember it

Standing in the hollers and looking at the hills

Smoke rolling out of my charcoal grill

Wishing that time would just stand still

And that's how I remember it

And I know this world is changing but I don't care

I might be a thousand miles from my home

But my heart will still be there

Sometimes i feel like an old man

When I think of all that's gone

I'll leave the bad in the past

The good stuff, I'm bringing along

And I know this world is changing but I don't care

I might be a thousand miles from my home

But my heart will still be there

You say my way of life is dead and gone

I'll leave the bad in the past

The good stuff, I'm bringing along

I'll leave the bad in the past

The good stuff, I'll bring it along
