How's your Mom and them, I haven't seen your folks in ages She was always kind, had the best sweet tea high school me ever tasted Weddings and funerals used to always get me down But these days they seem to be The only thing that ever bring me back to town I wish you'd have called me Maybe I could have talked you down But the thing that I wish most of all Is that you were still around Can't help but laugh about all the trouble that we got Into in the back of that Short Sugar's parking lot All the life we lived, all the plans that we'd discuss Before Milwaukee's Best snuck up and got the best of us I still hear your voice when I cross that county line Waking up the echoes in the canyons of my mind Hold on to the good times, leave the bad ones for the plow It ain't goodbye forever friend, it's just goodbye for now
