The Malpass Brothers - Road of Memories

DOWN THE ROAD OF MEMORIES YESTERDAY COMES BACK TO ME
MOM AND DAD WERE SO MUCH YOUNGER AND I WAS FILLED WITH TEENAGE DREAMS

MY GRANDPA, HE WAS MY HERO
HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO PICK AND SING I FIRST HEARD THE SONGS OF HAGGARD COMIN' FROM HIS GUITAR STRINGS DOWN THE ROAD OF MEMORIES

ON THE DAY THEY TOOK MY UNCLE AND PUT A RIFLE IN HIS HANDS
SHIPPED HIM OFF ONE COLD NOVEMBER TO FIGHT A WAR IN VIETNAM

HE STOOD PROUD THE DAY HE LEFT US
BUT HE LAY STILL WHEN THEY BROUGHT HIM BACK HOME WE STILL RIDE IN HIS BEAT-UP CHEVY
CAUSE THERE ARE DAYS WHEN HE COMES BACK TO ME DOWN THE ROAD OF MEMORIES

AS LONG AS THERE ARE PICTURES AND FRAMES
THOUGH THEY'RE GONE THEY'LL ALWAYS REMAIN

EMPTY ROOMS AND EMPTY SPACES WHERE ONES I LOVED USED TO BE
STILL THEY LIVE NOT TOO FAR FROM ME DOWN THE ROAD OF MEMORIES
