[Verse 1]
Trying to remember the very last time
I felt a simple thing going past
Was it the day in north Georgia
You were trying to take her back?
She sees the day lilies for sale sign
And the tears spring to her eyes
You turn the car around
And you're headed back down that track
[Verse 2]
She’s had a heart attack but the bottle of Jack
Sits on the counter like the devil she knows
And he beats her up as she fills her cup
The embers of a dying fire glow
See how she looked in her school yearbook
Her friends signed the margins all around
Oh, would you stay in touch?
You know I miss you so much
Hope we get out of this town
[Chorus]
Every day that you get up and force your cards
You're playing your story in fits and starts
You take your prospects and your pickaxe
And you trudge down to the stream
And you bloody your hands digging for your dream
Trying to remember the very last time
I felt a simple thing going past
Was it the day in north Georgia
You were trying to take her back?
She sees the day lilies for sale sign
And the tears spring to her eyes
You turn the car around
And you're headed back down that track
[Verse 2]
She’s had a heart attack but the bottle of Jack
Sits on the counter like the devil she knows
And he beats her up as she fills her cup
The embers of a dying fire glow
See how she looked in her school yearbook
Her friends signed the margins all around
Oh, would you stay in touch?
You know I miss you so much
Hope we get out of this town
[Chorus]
Every day that you get up and force your cards
You're playing your story in fits and starts
You take your prospects and your pickaxe
And you trudge down to the stream
And you bloody your hands digging for your dream
