Like a set of black marks tattooed on a highway Like some cheap light beer or that Georgia clear that got us a little sideways Like a first love´s tears and taillights, so long seventeen
Hand-me-down Ford for-sale sign along with her shotgun seat
Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got ´em Small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays Gone but not forgotten Gone but not forgotten
There´s a little white cross on the side of the highway In memories of the ones we love and lost that got to fly away Reminders of the good-die-youngs all over this old town Like all of the tears and beers we poured out on this hallowed ground
Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got ´em Small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays Gone but not forgotten
Here´s to all the some-gave-alls, the ones that done come home The ones that do, those twenty-two that died fighting the same damn war
Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got ´em
Gone but not forgotten All those memories, we got ´em Small towns change and glory fades like all our yesterdays
