The Way We Were

Memories like melodies are my favorite song

With roots, deepest rivers.

Reflecting on how far we came along,

Remembering when, and then wondering why

But with our eyes closed and blind to the bs, we danced to the rhythm.

Life gave us looking for a ribbon in the sky

It was ribs on the grill, smoke in the air

The crabs was by the radio, and the cake was next to the pie

A couple cases in the cooler

We get together, I can't think of nothing cooler

But with the kids, the years ran by

It was fun

Rum mixing, reminiscing

We laugh so hard sometimes we cry

I guess shallow disagreements lead to distance seasons and

We got some over here and some over there for different reasons

It just stopped and we went forward so fast.

I didn't see these times.

I'd press pause to repeat if I can rewind it.

Truth is it ain't lost, but we still gotta go find it

It ain't for the faint

Because you gotta give up some stuff on the inside

That you thought you can't

Now I'm gonna be there when you fall,

And that's what you call family, y'all.

So be that or beat trapped

Because the family is where freedom is at

Time heals all wounds

Rock, Paper, Denim

The world will know
