  • How's your Mom and them, I haven't seen your folks in ages
    She was always kind, had the best sweet tea high school me ever tasted
    Weddings and funerals used to always get me down
    But these days they seem to be the only thing that ever bring me back to town

    I wish you'd have called me
    Maybe I could have talked you down
    But the thing that I wish most of all
    Is that you were still around

    Can't help but laugh about all the trouble that we got
    Into in the back of that Short Sugar's parking lot
    All the life we lived, all the plans that we'd discuss
    Before Milwaukee's Best snuck up and got the best of us

    I still hear your voice when I cross that county line
    Waking up the echoes in the canyons of my mind
    Hold on to the good times, leave the bad ones for the plow
    It ain't goodbye forever friend, it's just goodbye for now Writer/s: BJ Barham
