I remember the rodeo
I remember the tilt a whirl
I remember the carnie girl
And I remember her dare
She said step up and get it
Five chances to win it
I threw the balls in the bucket
And I turned away

So full of fear now
Come to me dear now
Cover up your ears now
And I’ll play you a song

I remember the beer flowed
I remember the bar stools bowed
I remember the stage smelled
of sweat and rage
I remember his voice some
It’s like a ghost in the back of the yard
It’s like a ghost screaming up to the sky
As the birds they preyed

CHORUS:
We were young then
We were brave then
There were no rings then
There were just songs
And though we cried some
We would still fly some
We would still fall some
But we weren’t afraid

I remember the snow fell
I remember the clear sky
I remember his brown eyes
And I remember his grace
It would be the last time
Or maybe the first time
That i knew i loved him
But I couldn’t stay

So full of fear now
Come to me dear now
Cover up your ears now
And I’ll play you a song

CHORUS
