Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check dis photograph, mon,
Every time I do, it mek me laugh, ya know.
How did our eyes get so red?
An' what de hell is on Joey's head?
An' dis be where I grew up,
I tink de present owner fix it up.
I never know we ever went without,
De second floor, it hard for sneakin' out.
[Verse 2]
An' dis be where I went to school,
Most of de time had better tings to do, ya.
Criminal record says I broke in twice,
I must have done it half a dozen times.
I wonder if it too late,
Should I go back an' try to graduate?
Life's better now dan it was back then,
If I was dem, I wouldn't let me in.
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, Jah, I...
[Chorus]
Every memory of looking out de back door
I had de photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out de front door
I found de photo of de friend dat I was looking for,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
[Verse 3]
Rememba di old arcade,
Blew every dollar dat we ever made.
De cops hated us hangin' out,
Dem say, "Somebody went an' burned it down."
We used to listen to di radio,
An' sing along wit' every song we know.
We said, "Someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just de steering wheel."
Kim's de first girl I kissed,
I was so nervous dat I nearly missed.
She's had a couple of kids since den,
I haven't seen her since Jah knows when.
[Pre-chorus]
Oh, whoa, whoa
Oh, Jah, I...
[Chorus]
Every memory of looking out de back door
I had de photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out de front door
I found de photo of de friend dat I was looking for,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
[Outro]
Every memory of looking out de back door
I had de photo album spread out on my bedroom floor,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Every memory of walking out de front door
I found de photo of de friend dat I was looking for,
It hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
