Lyrics
First memory, you sang to me
a country tune in perfect key
and I slept in the crook of your worker's arm
you built the bed I slept upon in the night
You can go now,
you know someone's waiting for you
singin' a country tune
you can let go of all this
I'll be thinkin' of you when that country tune comes on
Crowded life, the five of us
you were gone all day to provide for us
but at night when you strummed that old Harmony
and whistled with Hank
it meant the most to me
You can go now,
you know someone's waiting for you
singin' a country tune
you can let go of all this
I'll be thinkin' of you when that country tune comes on
