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 gave me away
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
