Just Memories Now

[Verse] Creek water runnin clear and cool Neath the old oak's shadow, nature's jewel Dirt roads stretch, far as eyes can see Just livin our lives wild and free [Chorus] Life was pure, neath wide open skies Where promises meant more than empty lies Huntin, fishin, and dirt turned by our plow Those good old days, just memories now [Verse] Green tobacco under the summer sun Sweat and spit til the day was done Nights spent in the light of the fire Bullfrogs singin, in our ears like a choir [Chorus] Life was pure, beneath wide-open skies Where promises meant more than empty lies Huntin, fishin, and dirt turned by our plow Those good old days, just memories now [guitar solo] [Bridge] now the streams are quiet, fields are bare world racin forward with all its pains Everybody hustlin and bustlin without a care Yet in the heart of our country, a spirit remains Ooooooooh oooh [Chorus] Life was pure, neath wide-open skies Where promises meant more than empty lies Huntin, fishin, dirt turned by our plow Those good old days, just memories now [Outro] Huntin, fishin, dirt turned by our plow Those good old days, just memories now Just memories now memories now [Fade to Silence] [End]
