Let’s take a walk down Memory Lane
So much to see
Lovers and others I discover
Such history
My first kiss
My first love
The young ‘un who was me
What I learned
What I lost
Regrets for sure
Good times with good friends
What came to be
Older, somewhat wiser
Checking out the past
Measuring, reminiscing
Remembering what lasts

I hear that song I loved back then
When I was pursuing her
A song about unrequited love
Yeah, I was sure
Lord, I tried so hard
Did my very best
But I went nowhere
Not sure I ever had a chance
My fated, failed quest
So to hear that tune is bittersweet
I don’t want to remember then
Someone broke my heart
That was way back when

I thought we were in love
At least one of us was
That tune has everything
But its ending is wrong

A string of pearls ever classic
On her, two classics aligned
When I’m with her
It’s classic
Just classic
Perfection defined
While I’m at it
I should mention too
That she brings out the best in me
She’s just that cool

When I was young I dreamed of love
Who would she be?
When would she arrive?
Where would we meet?

As I grew older my hopes did smolder
But I carried on
I had many lovers
But never discovered
The one who would be the one

The years rolled by
The tears did not dry
Where oh where could she be?
Unsatisfied, I still tried to believe
She would come to me

This is a story that has no end
For now she is with me
We got together
I’m talking forever
This I know and believe

Yes, dreams and wishes come true
Before you know it tomorrows become yesterdays
And everything turns out OK

It’s an eight second partnership
The bronc, an angry participant
And me, I’m just trying to keep my legs in the stirrups
My hands on the reins
My wits about me
In one piece
Welcome to my world
It’s a family affair
Me and my sons, Troy and Dusty
Traveling day and night just to fight
For a living, one unforgiving
But exciting as the day is long
And to keep that ranch in Utah going
200 head of cattle and worries about enough rain
Are in our thoughts as we live the literal ups and downs of rodeo
We’re in the saddle for good
For life
Living our destiny
As we should
As we want to
As we have

The difference she’s made
Loved this sad sack of a man
Into a winning dude
Grumpiness left
What a success
Life finally arrived
We hooked up together
It’s so much better
We do it in style
Yes, the difference she’s made
Now I behave
Doing so willingly
She showed up
Once she did
Finally I arrived

The plane is landing
What new adventures await
Let’s explore this city
Let’s stay up late
Let’s kiss in public
To let everyone know
We’re a couple of lovers
Who can’t say no
To a good time
With intimacy
We’re on our way
My baby and me
