Precious Memories

歌詞

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.
