The smell of burning leaves in the fall moonlight The sound of the traffic, as it passes by my place Watching the kids running around, having fun As I’m watching the news and drinking a beer Fall weather, there’s nothing like it my friend Beautiful sunsets, bonfires, and warm hoodies Back in high school, I remember it quite well Football games, hanging with friends, such fun Weekends in town, seeing my girl, just being kids Never knowing what was ahead, didn’t care to know Thinking about the moment, enjoying it while it lasts Girlfriends come and go, as do the friends, some stay You hang on to the good times, they were so fun You try to forget the bad times, as they hurt too much You try to remember things that you forgot about You remember things, that you completely forgot about You want to go back, and ask that one girl out The one you were too scared to ask out Great weather brings back a mixed bag of memories You never know what to expect, it can get interesting Some may be good, some bad, some to make you laugh Just remember one thing, you’ll always have them to share Hang on to them good, hang on to them tight, they’re yours Write them down if you must, journal them along the way

Smoky Memories
The smell of burning leaves in the fall moonlight The sound of the traffic, as it passes by my place Watching the kids running around, having fun As I’m watching the news and drinking a beer Fall weather, there’s nothing like it my friend Beautiful sunsets, bonfires, and warm hoodies Back in high school, I remember it quite well Football games, hanging with friends, such fun Weekends in town, seeing my girl, just being kids Never knowing what was ahead, didn’t care to know Thinking about the moment, enjoying it while it lasts Girlfriends come and go, as do the friends, some stay You hang on to the good times, they were so fun You try to forget the bad times, as they hurt too much You try to remember things that you forgot about You remember things, that you completely forgot about You want to go back, and ask that one girl out The one you were too scared to ask out Great weather brings back a mixed bag of memories You never know what to expect, it can get interesting Some may be good, some bad, some to make you laugh Just remember one thing, you’ll always have them to share Hang on to them good, hang on to them tight, they’re yours Write them down if you must, journal them along the way
Fall is one of my favorite times of year. For some reason, it seems to spark a lot of memories, growing up.
