MEMORIES



Almost every Sunday we'd gather around the home place

That's badly in need of my mamma's loving hand

Us kids we offered everything from easy chairs to money

But his pride won't let us lend a helping hand.

Chorus:

Daddy's living off the memories of mama

That's what keeps him goin' everyday

The only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain

Where mama lies a-sleeping in the shade.

From the porch I see a memory he didn't have the heart to sell

And through the dust and all the rust I can see some faded green

It's that '47 pick-up, Oh, my mama loved so well

When we loaded up and followed our dreams.

Chorus:

Daddy's living off the memories of mama

That's what keeps him goin' everyday

The only trips he ever takes are high upon that mountain

Where mama lies a-sleeping in the shade.

Chorus:

Daddy's living off the memories of mama.
