Lyrics
Waking up at 3am so tired but just can't sleep
Thinking about the life I've had some day's it can't be beat
Making promises to a friend in need who's like a sister to me
I just hope that when they see me, this is what they'd say
There's our country girl singing Dolly and Merle driving down I95
I remember when she was just this big with the stars all in her eyes
It would make my day to be thought of that way by the ones I love the most
I raise my glass in a toast to the ones I love
Taking time, taking time to realize
That when the sky is dark, the sun is on the other side
When I see the people passing by it makes me stop and think
If I asked them how they remember me if this is what they'd say
There's our little girl in her mamma's pearls, driving down I95
I remember when she was just this big with the stars all in her eyes
It would make my day to be thought of that way by the ones I love the most,
I raise my glass in a toast to the ones I love
So long, the road we've taken can seem like forever
For so long I have taken my own way
But without the ones who've held the candles lighting up the way
I'd still be dreaming of that day when this is what they'd say
There's our country girl singing Dolly and Merle driving down I95
I remember when she was just this big with the stars all in her eyes
It would make my day to be thought of that way by the ones I love the most
I raise my glass in a toast
I raise my glass in a toast
I raise my glass in a toast
To the ones I love
