When You Can’t Remember Songtext
von Cody Jinks

It was tractors and combines
Freezin′ in deer blinds
Sunburns from sittin'
All day in the boat
It was mud tires on my truck
Son make your own luck
Yes ma′am and no ma'am
Do what she told you
It was boy take your best shot
Good names all that you've got
Take care of your sister
The best you know how
It was stand on your own feet
Give God the glory
That′s what you taught me
So I′ll tell you now


When you can't remember
When you can′t put names with the faces
Remember the places
Why you stand where you do
When you can't remember
I′ll tell you we broke the cycle
We stayed together
Like you prayed that we would
No they don't make
Heroes like they used to
When you can′t remember

It was barrooms and guitars
Dreamin' on big stars
Payin' those dues
′Cause that′s what we do
It was marriage and babies
Son that's your lady
You love that girl a
And cherish those children
Now it′s grandkids and son
When you think we'll go fishin′?
How'd it become the cats
And the cradle so soon
All of these beautiful memories I cherish
Is my way of saying dad I love you


When you can′t remember
When you can't put names with the faces
Remember the places
Why you stand where you do
When you can't remember
I′ll tell you we broke the cycle
We stayed together
Like you prayed that we would

When you can′t remember
You can't put names with the faces
You can′t remember the places
Why you stand where you do
When you can't remember
I′ll tell you we broke the cycle
Yeah we stayed together
Like you prayed that we would
When you can't remember
I′ll tell you we broke the cycle
Yeah we stayed together
Like you prayed that we would
No they don't make
Heroes like they used to
Every heroes gonna have their December
When you can't remember
When you can′t remember
