Since I was a child I always knew
The one thing in life I was born to do
Got a guitar at the age of nine
Started up a band with some friends of mine
Made no money and we didn't get far
But I got in Maggie's jeans in the back of my car
It wasn't all good and it's wasn't all bad
Tried to make the most of what I had
Look at years gone by, time sure flies
Look back and sign, but don't you cry
Those sweet memories
Of how it used to be
Those sweet memories
Still come back to me
Nightclub days lost in a haze
Spent my money a million ways
Drank firewater till the well was dry
Started every morning with bloodshot eyes
Lived my life like a merry go round
Inside out and upside down
Lonely night and happy days
I think I finally found my way
Look at years gone by, time sure flies
Look back and sign, but don't you cry
Those sweet memories
Of how it used to be
Those sweet memories
Still come back to me
Those sweet memories
Of how it used to be
Those sweet memories
Still come back to me
Memories
