[Verse 1] Remember when that old Ford died Halfway out of town? You said, "Give me five, I'll get it fixed" Then damn near burned it down We pushed that bastard three long miles And laughed until it hurt You still claim you could've fixed the thing For what it's worth [Verse 2] Remember that bar on Riverside When you ran your mouth too far? I dragged your sorry ass outside Before you fought the whole damn bar You swore that guy had started it I knew damn well you lied Twenty years, you told that story wrong And never once broke stride [Chorus] Remember when We thought we'd never slow down? Remember when We knew every road through town? Every bad idea seemed good back then Every wrong turn had a story at the end Hell, half the stories I still tell Somehow start with you, my friend Remember when [Verse 3] You called me up a week ago Said, "They gave me a month or two" Then changed the subject right away Like you always fucking do So here we are, killing an afternoon Digging up the years again You don't want to talk about what's coming So I say, "Remember when..." [Pre-Chorus] [Second vocal joins selected phrases] We never were much good with words Guess we never had to be [Chorus] [Strong two-part vocal harmony] Remember when We thought we'd never slow down? Remember when We knew every road through town? Every bad idea seemed good back then Every wrong turn had a story at the end Hell, half the stories I still tell Somehow start with you, my friend Remember when [Bridge] The room gets quiet for a while You look tired, so I let it be There's a hundred things I ought to say But none sound right to me So I tell you that old Ford would've run If you'd listened to me back then You crack a smile and shake your head And I say, "Remember when..." [Final Chorus] [Full two-part vocal harmony] Remember when We thought we'd never slow down? Remember when We knew every road through town? Every bad idea seemed good back then Every wrong turn had a story at the end Hell, half the stories I still tell Will always start with you, my friend Remember when [Outro] Remember when... Yeah... I remember, friend
