Remember When - Alan Jackson

Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, handouts create lazy people I'm not impressed with You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it? Actions speak louder than words do, it's pretty quiet, isn't it? Look at the world we live in, defined by comment sections Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think Not people that nod their head and act like they agree Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be, no! These people gon' tell you that you will never make it Then when you do, they gon' say they knew you were goin' places That's just how it works, next thing you know you'll be overrated Hearing people say they miss the "old you," it's crazy, ain't it? And perfect people don't exist, so don't pretend to be one I don't need pats on the back from people for my achievements When I die, I wanna know that I lived for a reason Anyone can take your life, but not what you believe in, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, don't take opinions from people that won't listen to yours If money's where you find happiness, you'll always be poor If you don't like the job you have, then what do you do it for? The cure to pain isn't something you buy at liquor stores, nah The real you is not defined by the size of your office The real you is who you are when ain't nobody watchin' You spend your whole life worried about what's in your wallet For what? That money won't show up in your coffin, woo! Yeah, anger's a liar, he ain't got no respect I fell in love with my pain, and I slept with my regrets Happiness saw it happen, maybe that's why she up and left Joy called me a cheater, said she ain't coming back I've always had a problem with relationships But that's what happens when you see the world through a broken lens Mistakes can make you grow, that doesn't mean you're friends Who you are is up to you, don't leave it up to them, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, they say you got into music You signed up to be hated That's kinda weird 'cause I don't remember signing my name up Coming from people that give advice but never take none I like my privacy, but, lately, I feel it's invaded I heard that life's too short, don't let it pass you by We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time It's not about what people think, it's how you feel inside My biggest failures in life are knowing I never tried, woo! I look at the world from a different angle People change, even Satan used to be an angel Think twice before you're bitin' on the hand that made you Don't believe what you believe just 'cause that's how they raised you Think your own thoughts, don't let them do it for you Say you want a drink, don't wait for people to pour it on you Cut out the lies, stay close to people you know are loyal Grab your own glass and fill it, don't let your fear destroy you, woo!

Alright I've been down this road before I remember every tree Every single blade of grass Holds a special place for me And I remember every town And every hotel room And every song I ever sang On a guitar out of tune I remember everything Things I can't forget The way you turned and smiled on me On the night that we first met And I remember every night Your ocean eyes of blue How I miss you in the morning light Like roses miss the dew I've been down this road before Alone as I can be Careful not to let my past Go sneaking up on me Got no future in my happiness Though regrets are very few Sometimes a little tenderness Was the best that I could do I remember everything Things I can't forget Swimming pools of butterflies That slipped right through the net And I remember every night Your ocean eyes of blue How I miss you in the morning light Like roses miss the dew How I miss you in the morning light Like roses miss the dew

When will I see you again? You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said No final kiss to seal any sins I had no idea of the state we were in I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head But don't you remember? Don't you remember? The reason you loved me before Baby, please remember me once more When was the last time you thought of me? Or have you completely erased me from your memory? I often think about where I went wrong The more I do, the less I know But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness And a wandering eye, and heaviness in my head But don't you remember? Don't you remember? The reason you loved me before Baby, please remember me once more Gave you the space so you could breathe I kept my distance so you would be free And hope that you find the missing piece To bring you back to me Why don't you remember? Don't you remember? The reason you loved me before Baby, please remember me once more When will I see you again?

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
