Always Remember One Thing

The last thing I remember was a Friday night Lit cigarette, cryin' blue eyes Beggin' me to be a man that I just ain't Knowing that I'll probably never change Sun through the blinds, empty space in the bed Guess it must've been the drunken words that I said Last thing I remember is you saying, "We're through" It might be a while, but I'll be waiting for you The last thing I remember was the scene that we made Screamin' in the Uber on the way to my place You said that I was using you, you said you felt played The last thing I remember is your face Sun through the blinds, empty space in the bed Guess it must've been the drunken words that I said Last thing I remember is you saying, "We're through" It might be a while, but I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you How many nights can I hit rock bottom? Until I realize, I might be the problem Sun through the blinds, empty space in the bed Guess it must've been the drunken words that I said Last thing I remember is you saying, "We're through" It might be a while, but I'll be waiting for you I'll be waiting for you

It all started back in 1981 Our life together had just begun I didn't know what my future would hold But you gave me a chance So I set out on the road It wasn't easy going then There were times I almost threw that old towel in But you kept callin' me back to the stage And I finally found my place in each and every face I'm not sayin' I'm through by any means There's still things that I want to say and do I hope you won't forget me, 'cause we've shared a lot of dreams And just know that I'll always remember you When I first set out on the road, I figured I had maybe five good years to sing my songs for you folks Well, it's goin' on 30 now And I still love it just as much as I ever did When I hear that announcer say my name And I walk through those curtains And see your smilin' faces My feet don't touch the ground again 'Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this But I figure a few I do want you to know, though That when I do walk off this stage for the last time And I'm all settled in, away from all this You won't be far away I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind And I'll always remember you I'm not sayin' I'm through by any means 'Cause there's still things that I want to say and do I hope you won't forget me, 'cause we've shared a lot of dreams And just know that I'll always remember you You've pulled me through some hard times Hope I've pulled you through a few And just know that I'll always remember you
