[Verse 1] The memories are sweet Of that small-town desert home Where a cowboy’s boots first learned the dust The saddle and the street Where wild young colts would roam We rode the edges of town Testing courage Learning independence [Pre-Chorus] But as years roll by And things change That little range has to change too And campfire nights fade Into a sweet memory A strong pull at my heart each day [Chorus] Let’s enjoy our life now As we enjoyed that hometown sky We bring strength to our new trails We know how wide this world can be We sing with that sparkle With that sparkle in our eye Sweet Deming in years gone by Sweet Deming in years gone by [Verse 2] They hunt no more For the dove and the deer In the canyons and mesas near We sang in dusty roadside cantinas Old porch swing School days Riding in the truck Such joy released Like these rides would never end We did not know How precious these moments were [Bridge] Yes Those days with herds and family Are treasured And cannot be taken From our hearts The time has come When the wranglers have to part From a gift from God We never realized [Chorus] Let’s enjoy our life now As we enjoyed that hometown sky We bring strength to our new trails We know how wide this world can be We sing with that sparkle With that sparkle in our eye Sweet Deming in years gone by Sweet Deming in years gone by [Outro] Oh thank you friends Oh thank you family Oh thank you God Yes thank you God For all these trails we’ve been shown Amen
