[Verse 1] Your mama called me Said "Honey You better sit down" Coffee went cold in my shaking hands When she said you were gone from this town They said it started so simple Just a night in that old camper bed By morning there was nothing but sirens And your name in the headlines I read [Chorus] They say my Kentucky friend passed away In an awful camper fire that night Some blamed carelessness Some swore it was planned But the truth is it still ain't right We were planning forever Now I'm stuck in the past Asking how did our someday fall through I'm always going to love you Boy I'm always gonna love you [Verse 2] We circled rings in a catalog You kissed my hand in the feed store line You said "Soon as I save a little more I'm gonna make your last name mine" Now it's papers and people all talking Like they ever knew your heart They can argue about the ashes I just feel my world fall apart [Chorus] They say my country boy passed away In an awful camper fire that night Some blamed carelessness Some swore it was planned But the truth is it still ain't right We were planning forever Now I'm stuck in the past Asking how did our someday fall through I'm always going to love you Boy I'm always gonna love you [Bridge] I still set one plate at the table Still fold your shirt on my bed (oh) Still reach for my phone on a Friday To tell you the things left unsaid Let the rumors burn themselves out Let the stories fade to smoke All I know is you were my always My promise you never outgrow [Chorus] They say my Kentucky friend passed away In an awful camper fire It's true They can write what they want in the columns But they can't tell my heart what to do We were planning forever Now forever's a prayer Whispered up in an empty room I'm always going to love you Boy I'm always gonna love you
