Gone But Not Forgotten

Like a set of black marks tattooed on a highway

Like some cheap light beer or that Georgia clear

That got us a little sideways

Like a first love's tears and taillights, so long 17

Hand-me-down Ford, "For Sale" sign

Along with her shotgun seat

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change

And glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

Gone but not forgotten

And there's a little white cross on the side of the highway

In memories of the ones we loved and lost that got to fly away

Reminders of the good-die-youngs all over this old town

Like all of the tears and beers we poured out on this hallowed ground

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change

And glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

And here's to all the some-gave-alls

The ones that done come home

The ones that do, those 22

That died fightin' the same damn war

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

Gone but not forgotten

All those memories, we got 'em

These small towns change

And glory fades like all our yesterdays

Gone but not forgotten

Gone but not forgotten
