Lyrics
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 THEY YEARS SLIPPED BY
OTHER THINGS GO IN THE WAY
IF ONLY I COULD TALK TO YOU TODAY
I?M 47 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 THEY YEARS SLIPPED BY
OTHER THINGS GO IN THE WAY
IF ONLY I COULD TALK TO YOU TODAY
I WANT ONE MORE CHANCE
TO TALK TO YOU TODAY
