MEMORIES OF YOU

Flat on our backs
In deep cold grass,
Watchin' line after line
Of crows wingin' past
From an unknown point north,
To an unknown point south,
Then the touch of your hand
And the warmth of your mouth.

Watchin' you ride
Across your daddy's farm,
Makin' love our first time
In a broken down barn,
Dancin' a waltz
In the pale moon light,
Walkin' you home,
Holdin' you tight,

Well, I'll be home soon,
And I know what I'll find,
'Cuz memories of you
Still make up my mind.
Yeah, I'll be home soon,
And I know what I'll find,
'Cuz memories of you
Still make up my mind.

This city is cold.
Nobody smiles.
Watch your back, Baby,
Use all your wiles.
They say I've got what it takes,
And they want me to stay.
"Go ahead and think it over,
But tell us today."

When I gotta choose
Which future is mine,
The memories of you
Will make up my mind.

Well, I'll be home soon,
And I know what I'll find,
'Cuz memories of you
Still make up my mind.
Yeah, I'll be home soon,
And I know what I'll find,
'Cuz memories of you
Still make up my mind.
