1967, you taught me how to play

All those Merle Haggard songs

Man, he had a way

And the intro to “Detroit City”

I remember it today

You were my hero then

You still are today

 

What happened to us

How did the years slip away

I always thought that we’d get

Back together one day

As the years slipped by

Other things got in the way

If only I could talk to you today                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

I’m forty-seven now

And I heard yesterday

That you were gone

There’s just nothin’ I can say

I acted like it didn’t matter

But my heart got in the way

I want one more chance

To talk to you today                            

 

What happened to us

How did the years slip away

I always thought that we’d get

Back together one day

As the years slipped by

Other things got in the way

If only I could talk to you today

 

I want one more chance

To talk to you today
